The again Android can be customized to run on a specific piece of equipment.
So, if fp ran on one manufactures tablet running Android, that doesn't mean
it will run on all tablets running Android.

You also would be faced with which release, 2.1, 2.2 or 3.0.  The latter
designed for tablets with their larger screens.

One of my client's is testing the Samsung tablet, with remote access.  I am
waiting to hear how his test went.  He has run filePro on his phone thru RDP
with a stylus to get to his app.  It runs fairly well for inquiries but not
for data entry,  although he has updated information in the system.  This
has impressed some of his prospective clients.
