Support for all common RAW file types is built into iOS since version 3.0. Android has no built-in RAW file support but that is available through a free app, RAWDroid, according to Miles Hecker:

The cost issue is pretty big for me; I really don’t want to spend more than $300 on it, and $250 would be better. I think an iPad is almost certainly out of my range.
thanks for that link
Outliernn, if you don’t mind my using your thread to ask some questions, I’m gonna do that; if it’s annoying, I can start a new thread :).
Anyway, I’ve narrowed things down to three choices: the Amazon Kindle Fire, the Samsung Galaxy 2, and the refurbished Xoom. The Kindle has the lowest price-point; the Xoom has the highest cost, but also the biggest screen. Given that I’ll probably be using it for websurfing, watching movies and tv shows, and playing simple games, does anyone have thoughts?
Also, I’d love to us a tablet as a navigational tool. My brother can use his Xoom to give directions: “Turn right at the next light,” it’ll say. He pays $20/month for a data connection in order to do this. Does anyone know of an app that enables this without a data connection, just via a GPS? If so, could this be done on a Kindle and/or a Galaxy?
