    I'm going to pick the ELD-50 up at the Truckstop tomorrow.

    Will it work with most newer Android tablets? I use an iPhone and will need to buy an android device.

    Any recommendations? Cheaper is better.

    That is correct..

    *Not compatible with TND™ Tablet 70. May not work with older Android devices.

    Any chance of returning the 70 and getting an 80?

    I will query RM about the Android OS.

    For the last two posts..

    ELD 50 works with all Android OS 4.4 and above except Oreo.

    Bluetooth stack interactions between T-70 and ELD 50 may have issues because T-70 was not built for “always on” bluetooth connection. DriverConnect predicates on it though it supports buffering as a backup.

    As a one truck operation, do I need the subscription service or will I be compliant as long as I use the device and print my logs daily?

    Thanks

    Just an FYI

    Bought a new Galaxy Tab e-lite running Android 4.4.

    This tablet does NOT work with the Driver Connect software because it can not auto update time/ date.

    Thank god they let me return it...
