use with our SQ-7. Never used an Android tablet, but I do know that<br>
some people have to use some creativity with Amazon Fire tablets to<br>
get apps from the Google Play store, so I recommended to him to avoid<br>
anything like that, and stick with a mainstream Android tablet maker<br>
like Samsung.<br>
<br>
The annoying (blessing?) thing is the IT department does pretty much<br>
nothing to supply/support the performing arts center (too much<br>
specialty equipment that's out of their comfort zone) - so it's always<br>
so frustrating when they actually try to insert themselves in our<br>
purchasing of "tools" to do our specialty work. But that's a rant for<br>
another time.<br>

> If you have a QU I believe you have to use an iPad to control the board, but I think everything from SQ on up has apps for iPad, Android, and Windows. Don't get the cheapest android tablet and you should be fine. If you go with an Amazon Fire Tablet (Technically Android) make sure the Amazon app store has the app you need. I've had mixed success installing the Google services that are needed to access the Play Store.<br>
