I'm looking for recommendations on two types of inexpensive touchscreen devices (or one device that can do both) for running HSTouch. If it can browse the web and run other apps like BlueIris and Spotify that would also be cool, but not required.
What is the best OS to get a custom HSTouch working smoothly? Windows 7? Windows 10? Android? iOS? If Android/iOS do I have to root/jailbreak to get them working like a proper remote controller? Does everything have to be rooted and/or jailbroken to work properly?
I've scoured the forums but most of the posts I've seen appear to be old and use old hardware and talk about issues that might not be a problem anymore.
I really dont want to do ipads as they are expensive as crap. I also dont want to go so cheap that I get something that is going to be unresponsive or crash randomly. It needs to be ROCK SOLID reliable. I also dont want to be fumbling around with cradles and wall brackets and charger cables every time I pick it up...so ideally something that either has stand/bracket built in or can be mounted w/ magnets.
I've seen people recommend the Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 (8") which looks very intriguing. The Yoga Tab 3 is available now for like $170 so this might be a great option for tabletop. I just wish it had wireless charging. Are there any other similar tablets out there w/ built in stand AND wireless charging?
I've also seen people recommend a chinese mini-pc/tablet hybrid thing called the PIPO-X9S which looks intriguing except for the awkward antenna http://www.geekbuying.com/item/PIPO-...MI-362600.html
What is everyone else using? Appreciate any recommendations!
- Tabletop (preferably with a built in stand and wireless charging)
- Flush-wall-mounted w/ ability to remove and make it handheld controller.
