I use Torque via Bluetooth on my Android phone and it works like a charm.

However the gauges update rate could drop if you use a lot of them at the same time. For general use (+-6 live data gauges) I don't notice any hick ups... Maybe if you display +10 or so live gauges it might suffer delays, but there isn't really any need for +10 gauges... (unless you wanne own the Fast & Furious scene by displaying data that is only for show...)

TIP: if you are going the Android OBD2/bluetooth way, you may consider buying an OBD2 adapter that comes with an on/off switch.
That way you can easily push the power button on the OBD2 connector knowing it won't drain your battery when staying connected in the OBD2 port on your car. Here is the link of the one I bought: http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/MINI-ELM...item2c6b0e006a
