I know Boinc runs on android based phones but not sure about others. Windows phones should also support Boinc, but I've not tried it...
----------------------------------------Edit - WCG currently has FA@H on Android, I've not checked for other projects...

BOINC doesn't run on Windows Phone or Windows RT, but if you get a tablet that runs a regular x86 or x86-64 installation of Windows you can run the regular version of BOINC. Otherwise, you're looking at an Android device if running BOINC/WCG is a priority.
----------------------------------------This is a recurring topic, if you want to get into the details they're floating around here in the other threads about the issue. |
