    I know I wish for the future now, but it would be nice to utilize the GPU's in tablets and phones. My tablet's very capable GPU sits idle while I compute other BOINC projects on 4 CPU's.

      Feasability of GPU computation, e.g. LG Nexus 4's GPU Adreno320 supports openCL 1.2

      Google seems to push RenderScript? over openCL support on Android...

      Watch this space, it may take a while, unless you're a developer and you're going to implement it for them.
