Can anyone recommend a good Android based device to use with Solo? I want to use the capabilities of Tower, in addition to the iOS based 3DR Solo App. As far as device is concerned, the operation of the Solo is the only thing I would do with it, so looking for a low cost option, but with enough storage/memory etc to handle the apps used to control the copter.

I've used both a Nexus 5 and a 2012 Nexus 7. The 2012 N7 isn't officially supported (won't install from Google Play as of 6/14), but I'm a developer... I have ways... The Solo app didn't actually look very good on Android 5.1, but I upgraded to 5.1.1 and it works perfectly and looks fine. The downside is that the tablet is so sluggish already with Android 5+ on it, the frame rate wasn't very good. The N5 was much better, but the smaller screen was less pleasant. The low frame rate and "ancient tablet" status is probably the reason the 2012 isn't supported.
