Pointed this out earlier. http://forums.robo3dprinter.com/index.php?threads/android-software.970/ The only trick is to hold the connect button for a few seconds to select the faster baud rate.

I've yet to actually try a print, but I verified that it works to control the printer by hand. I keep meaning to, and since I have a week and half off around Christmas (vacation + yearly shutdown) I'll be playing more with this.

Just sucks that android tablets (unless they have a hard dock like the Asus Infinity series) have a single USB connector and most of them require kernel hacks to charge while acting as USB master.

The new Atom tablets for Surface 2 Pro and Dell Venue are an interesting alternative as they would support repetiter natively, but not sure you'd want to slice with them.
