Any thoughts/information on Android based data collection software (if any). Having a hard time thinking about equipment purchases that run soon-to-be obsolete operating system.

WIN 10 Tablet the only real option, their ability to run any windows software makes it a no brainer.?ÿ

DropBox + Free File Sync + Team Viewer your three new best friends.

We have 2 Microsoft Surface Pro 4's that run Win 10 and android. They are reasonably suited for field use if you are cautious and have a great battery life. For Android apps they are all over the place ie:

I presume the OP is referring to Windows Mobile 6.5, which at a guess, he's saying Microsoft are no longer developing/supporting, so at another guess, I assume the likes of SurvCE will get overtaken by their SurvPC (on tablets etc that run full blown Windows) or unless they develop an Android or i version.
