I subscribe to trainer road / zwift and use my laptop which is quite old and struggling to keep up. Thinking abut getting a tablet but don't want to shell out big money on an iPad so was thinking about an android tablet. I know I can get trainer road app but how do I connect my ant+ dongle which currently plugs into a usb socket on my laptop. I have read that some tablets have ant+ protocol but can't find a definitive list. Can I get an adaptor and plug in my current dongle or is there another solution Thanks

USB to go adapter and a quick Google for Android ant+ drivers sorted me out.

Will zwift run on a tablet? I thought at present it was only PC or mac.

Some android devices have ant+ support built in so don't need a dongle, eg my xperia phone.
Have a look on the ant website, think there's a list.

As above, I know they've just released iPad support, but can you actually run Zwift on a tablet?

I know they've just released iPad support
only if you get accepted onto the beta program. Will be a fair while until it comes to Android I reckon.
