Durametric on Android Tablet ?
Will this work and if so can you tell me how you are doing this ?
I used a USB adapter this afternoon after downloading the software and the tabled just reported "Unable to open this program "
it would sure be a lot handier than a laptop
Thanks in advance
Dwight

The software is designed to work with Windows. Maybe with a Windows emulator, but I doubt it.

Main reason I haven't bought it is that I don't have any windows computers, wonder if it works in WINE?

Probably a slate book or similar type computer that runs regular windows would work.

I currently use a Motion Computing J3500 tablet when running the Durametric software. It's a beast of a Windows tablet - Core i7 processor, 16 GB RAM, SSD, etc. WAY overkill. Only downside is that the one I have is pen driven (they do make a finger touch version).
I feel kinda like I'm Dr Rodney McKay from Stargate Atlantis when I have it hooked into the car. LOL
I also run the Durametric software on a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 (old, slow netbook). I didn't think it would work because of the Atom processor, but it actually ran fine. The netbook takes up very little space and I stow it behind the passenger seat when I take the car out for longer day trips.
Both machines are running Windows 7 Pro (I have Windows 10, but still prefer 7)...

Obscure reference but being a Stargate Atlantis fan I can easily picture this!

Way back I had it running on my Motion M1400 tablet (a Stargate Atlantis prop running the show software autographed by David Hewlett). Ran ok as long as I was running Win XP (not so much when I ran it with Win 7)... s..l..o..w...
(damn I have a lot of PCs...)

If anyone talks to Durametric, tell them I’ll help them transition to running on iOS, Android, and Windows through the use of Xamarin. I have a great deal of professional experience with this. Since Durametric is .NET based, it’s a natural fit.

I don't have durametric, and have no plans for getting it. BUT, I do have a Toyota program & cable for my Prius--it's a Chinese clone program (which means it's pirated.) It's easiest to use on Win XP computers--obsolete by at least 5 years. Which means that one can get really nice, clean restored laptops or netbooks for practically nothing. I paid $35 for mine and found it on Craigslist. It is from the "It's a Dell, dude." era.
It doesn't connect to the internet (no wifi adaptor.) So it's isolated, immune to internet born viruses, etc., and never needs to be upgraded.
If ever I come across someone who's practically giving away durametric and an OBD cable, I'll install it on my good old XP laptop. Apple stuff & Android are wonderful, but I wouldn't go to the trouble with old netbooks available.

Brian, if you ever do need access to the Durametric, I have the enthusiast kit with two open VINs available.
