Gentlemen, is there a chance that there will be a app for I pad where you can USB your flashscan device to it?
Using my I pad will be much easier than a bulky laptop.
Thanks

Highly doubtful, unless/until you can run Windows XP or Windows 7 on an iPad. We can dream, but Id venture to say a Linux distribution would be more likely and even that is a pipe dream. Have to utilize the BBx capabilities of the V2 and call it a day.
Id love to get log file playback and tune editing on a tablet, but modern tablets are probably out of the question unless they can emulate Windows.
You can run a virtual desktop of Windows using some software and hardware (maybe) from Citrix. Downfall is you'd have to be connected to 3G at least (probably wifi) to make it work.

BTW thats is a W7 OS, but is either virtualized or a remote desktop. Have to remember the iPad uses an ARM processor, Windows is currently ONLY built for x86 architecture. Windows 8 will be ARM compatible, but Windows 7 is not.

EFILive is developed in Delphi. The latest Delphi XE2 ships with cross development capabilities that targets OSX and iOS (i.e. iPhone and iPad).
That means it is within the realms of possibility that EFILive will one day (although not any time soon) be available as an app for iPhone and/or iPad.

a windows seven tablet should work. might be hard to tune with touch screen ( havent tried) but with wireless mouse and keyboard would be no diffrent than small netbook.
think about using a 7 inch for dash board in my race car using the scanner and logging every pass and some street:rotflmao:

It's a remote desktop client guys. Still nothing stopping you from running a tiny pc in your car and creating an adhoc network to do this
I use itap rdp. The gestures are very easy to use

The EFILive software is supported on Windows XP, Vista and 7 operating systems. Computer wise anything that will run Windows 7 adequately will be fine for EFILive. The one exception is Intel Atom based netbooks. If you are using Black Box Logging with the FlashScan V2, and really just using a PC to review a log file, or modify the calibration then the netbooks are fine. I have found (I personally have one) that they are not able to keep up with updating graphs and gauges if you want to log real-time data and display on the laptop.
So it really comes down to how you expect or wants to use the laptop. I personally always log Black Box now and pretty well never have a laptop in the vehicle at all.
