Just be aware Forscan on either Android or iPhone will not have full functionality like a laptop and is not free to download.

I use a Samsung 8" tablet for quick stuff....but use a proper Windoze laptop for learns and programming etc...

Instead of using an Android tablet you can use an older windows 8 tablet . Just put Forscan on it and use it with a bluetooth elm obd reader .

Still won't have full functionality though.

It depends on what you want it for, is it just to keep in the van for emergency code reading/clearing or for full function like injector coding ect.
