My dad was able to grab an android tablet at a great deal and I'm testing it out. I've been doing a lot of dev on my iPad lately and the only thing lacking is being able to compile and upload
Apparently there is an avrdude compiled for android. I was thinking of getting the tab USB adapter and trying it out. Just figured I'd start the discussion for anyone who was interested or could help figure out all the details.
I've got a Nexus 7 with the OTG cable to connect USB devices. I think there may be an issue with some tablets and USB support due to the version of Android but I'm not 100% positive. I know I can connect a USB drive to my nexus 7 and it works fine. I'm also running 4.2.2 on it as well.
I just did a quick search and it appears you need to have at least Android 3.1+ or later on it for USB host mode.
The trick will be if host mode works or not, i think the avr-gcc part is taken care of already. Im not looking for the java ide although that would be nice!

yeah, it was fairly useless after i read through it. one thing i've noticed is that the ide makes the compilations so much easier that from the command line.
