AE ?

Do you think they will ever build an interface to work with a tablet or smart phone? Preferably Android

They started to get on board with the PDAs and Bluetooth technology...

I just asked Clay today and he said it will work on a tablet. You just need to download the program from the web rather than from the disc.

Really?

I have a new tablet, but a 8+ year old laptop. Plus the size alone would be nicer in the truck...

Netbook, not tablets like iPad. Sorry if there was any confusion.

AE is the Ticket, no doubt, but Torque Pro for Android gets you half way there for peanuts. Reads/clears codes, check your HPOP, buncha other nifty features. But no testing utilities like Perdels or buzz test.

I dont get it...

Kind of like people posting on forums from there phones...

Phones are to make phone calls... I have stretched that to emails and such.

Computers are for the internet and such, as well as others...

Ipads are toys, should have remained in the see and say realm...

Of course I am not as young as some of you kids...

I regularly post from my phone! You don't get to see the sig. line on the mobile version, but its quick and easy. It's also easier to post links (bad word haha) on the full site.

The power of the new technology in a more compact package far exceeds my 8+ year old laptop. I'm wondering if it will even run AE or fast enough...lol. Something to look into...

I can answer this: I have a 2-year-old netbook with an Atom processor that's like watching an etch-a-sketch draw the screen, and I have a laptop with 8 64-bit processors and a powerful GPU. Each has AE installed and I've logged data with both. While the screen-change is faster on the laptop, the AE interfacing is exactly the same - the OBDII protocol is much older than your laptop.

Not so much: My netbook doesn't have an optical drive, but I have other computers that do. I copied the AE install to a SD card (or thumb drive, etc...) and it worked. The security dongle takes care of their concerns for copyrights.

Funny you mention that, I had to do that exact same thing here at work with a new netbook. Considering we are a electronics company, our IT guys didn't even have a thumb drive for me to borrow! But they did let me borrow their portable drive with USB connections...


Even we have app's for our products for Droid and iOS (small company).
