just wondering which Android tablet people are using and what is their experience in portable use.

I'm using Hamsatdroid on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Smartphone. It's compact and very quick, The phone is equipped with GPS so it even gets your location and displays the Maidenhead locator .
An exceptional FREE bit of software!
Hi,
Glad it's being so well used.
I'm the new custodian of the code and we've got Juan Ranuarez to thank for the idea and original code-base.
WRT landscape mode, that's already being worked on. It uses the built in sensors to detect the rotation.
Take a look at the Roadmap on the site: https://sites.google.com/site/hamsatdroid/
It's going to remain free for a while, but we've got plans to use it to raise funds for the AMSAT-UK Satellite Building Fund, which has contributed to many of the AMSAT/ARISS projects worldwide.
Please try it out with AO-10/40 to see what an elliptical orbit looks like. (It may take a couple of seconds longer than normal due to the complexity of the algorithm).
Any feedback to hamsatdroid@g4dpz.me.uk will be appreciated and acknowledged.
