Android tablet SDRs?

SWLing Post reader, Philip, writes with the following question:
"I want to know if you are aware of any good shortwave receivers that can be used on an Android tablet."
I am aware of the Android SDR application, SDR Touch (see image above), but have never used it so I can't comment on compatibility with the various SDRs on the market. I know that SDR Touch is compatible with devices that support USB host mode-but you may need to do research to see if your Android device and potential receiver are compatible. I believe most SDR Touch users connect their device to RTL-SDR dongles.
Readers: Please comment if you have any suggestions for Philip. I'm also curious if anyone has had success pairing an Android tablet to an HF-capable SDR.
