[RE-wrenches] Solmetric PVA-600

[Gary Willett]

GLENN:  The PVA600 uses a Windows based application.

I have a MacBookPro that runs Windows 7 natively using the "Bootcamp" 
software that is bundled in with the Mac OS.

So unless your tablet can run Windows in either native of emulation 
mode, you're ( currently ) out of luck.

As with most manufacturers, customer demand probably drives Solmetric 
and the OS platforms on which the PVA600 software will run. Make your 
wishes for an Android version known to them.
