Android Tablet + torque

[CharlieChaos]

I don't know much about the android tablet work provided me with an Ipad so I mostly use that.

I read that the 7 inch Ipad is more like a larger Iphone then smaller Ipad (if that makes sense).

I basiclly want someone I can hook up and run Torque on as well as media other apps and nav. I heard you need to go with a bluetooth OBD for torque to function without lag. Not know much about the android tablets could someone please point me in the direction. Yes I have seen the thread on the android radio but I am not really interested in that

I can't speak to the Nav piece because I haven't tried that, but I have run Torque with a Sonic gTablet, my Droid X Phone, and a couple of other tablets/phones belonging to friends and family. Here's some photos.

I haven't tried to use my tablet for Navigation because it is WiFi/Bluetooth only so I can't run Google Nav or anything like that on it. I have used both Torque and Google Nav on my Droid X at the same time, but you have to flip back and forth between them, not exactly ideal.

Im just more concerned about user friendly. Basiclly I want to fiberglass the tablet into my dash keep the radio but run all of my music off the tablet into my radio and run Torque as well as Nav if needed. the nav option I dont care about as much

Charlie, you'd be very interested in the head unit I am getting. It does all that and more with out any custom fabrication.
