ECMlink Tablet for DSMLink

[LETTI GVR4]

Does anyone know if there is a tablet that can run Dsm link? My understanding is that third party apps can't be used.

Not sure if it helps but i use my little acer netbook exclusively for logging. Its tiny, lightweight and has decnt bat power. AFAIK, i dont think theres a cable or more imortantly, a driver, that would make link funtion on a tablet. It would be a custom written code to make it work. But, if you used a keyboard attachment like on my nexus 7, you might be able to find something. The biggest hangup in compatibility would be the touchscreen i would think.

My guess would be that it probably wouldn't work. Idk how you would be able to get the software onto the tablet and if you did i don't think most tablets use the correct operating system to run link. You could look into something like the hp elitebook. Like a laptop and tablet in one, just a thought.

i haven't heard of it yet. the guy at bestbuys said it wasn't possible yet. he did say the new windows 8 laptop with the flip screen might be able to run it.

It's not officially supported by any of the tablets. However, a few people have gotten it to run on an Android device with some riggin'.

You can buy a tablet that has a 32-bit processor or 64-bit processor running Windows 7 or Windows 8. However, these are more expensive than the ARM processing tablets and are usually a little more thicker than the thin tablets you see on the market now. They usually come with a USB drive which you would be able to use with ECMLink.

That link for the one you had may work (I wasn't able to see the specs)

**Yes the one that you saw would work from Amazon (it looks a little ghetto to me). If you are going to spend that much money, why dont' you try a new touch screen laptop?

Why not just keep it simple and use a small laptop/netbook?

I recently bought a windows surface pro exclusively to run DSM link in the car. Works great but it cost an arm and a leg. According to the guy at best buy its the only tablet available that can run any windows program you want. I actually downloaded the dsmlink software right off there site.

That's because it's basically a laptop but in tablet form. It runs a full Windows OS, so I would expect it to act exactly like a laptop/desktop.

Very interesting subject! I wonder how long it's going to take for someone to figure out this? I bet it will be soon. I'll better wait.

You'll be waiting a while (read: possibly indefinitely) if you want it available for Android or iOS tablets.

Stick with Windows if you want to use link via tablet.

The only reason I'm saying that is because I just got one of those new acer touchscreen laptops with windows 8 and I F$&@)(ing hate it. The hardware is good but the new software it's trash. I don't want to run something as important and delicate like ecmlink in such a cheap OS like windows 8. But thanks for your input snowborder, I'll keep looking for another tablet besides my nexus 7.
