FWIIW, access to most of the Daimler car2go vehicles here requires their app running on android or an apple device. Primarily for that, I purchased an XO Tablet. Apparently the fastest machine I now own. 2nd hand and under 50 US dollars.

I've encountered numerous odd constraints and convolutions in a few months of experimenting with the tablet. Considering this, the bochs app works amazingly well.

Being a senior now, my concern is to finish existing projects rather than begin new ones. Meanwhile I'll lobby Daimler to offer a purely HTML5 app and content myself with android until the picture improves. By the way, the Spark Modular Tablet is appealing although too large for my purposes. http://www.instructables.com/id/Spark-The-DIY-Modular-Tablet/ Thanks, ...
