Default OBD2 scanner android app

Aloha gang, anyone ever use the Torque pro obd2 app from the android market? Has really good reviews. Uses Bluetooth. Not sure how that would work with my c5. However my tablet is a Toshiba thrive with a full sized USB port as well as a mini. Also an HTMI port and memory card. Maybe can use one of those with an adaptor to ECM?

It can definitely come in handy, and he keeps it updated, which is good. If you go with a bluetooth adapter, I wouldn't go with a cheap one off ebay or anything though.

The Torque app is really nice software. I use on my Droid X with the car dock.

Any difference between yours and this one?

Just curious as to what the price difference incorporates since this one seems to be middle of the road cost wise.

Your link isn't working for me. You can buy bluetooth adapters for $29.99 to $149.99. I just know the PLX KIWI one I bought works good. I can't judge it against others because I don't know about the others.
