Hi Moose! RDSS requires Microsoft Windows (XP or later) to run. So - any tablet capable of running, for example, Windows 8 or 7 runs RDSS beautifully. I use a MS Surface Pro, running Windows 8.
Since RDSS requires Windows, and since iPad and Android tablets do not run Windows, RDSS will not run natively on these tablets. For iPad and Android tablets, you can use a remote connection tool such as TeamViewer or Logmein to connect remotely to your other computers running Windows (your home computer or a cloud server), and thus view RDSS actually running on that other computer, not running on your non-Windows tablet. it's a great concept, though unsatisfying in practise: trying to run a remote copy of Windows on a device not optimized for Windows has been frustrating for me, though others do make it work. it's a compromise.
Yet others simply make screenshots of their readouts in PDF or Word or Excel documents and transfer them to their tablet or phone for use at the track. Albeit static reports, but something portable.
I can highly recommend a Windows tablet for running RDSS (there are many models). It also displays quite well on an external monitor when you simply need to use it at home at your desk.
