I am hoping to eventually reduce my gaming toolkit in size and
portability, and I was wondering if there are any tablets out there that
will run software like DM Genie. At a glance, it looks like everything
that not an I-Pad runs on the Android platform... which I love on my
phone, but clearly runs "apps", not software applications. Any
thoughts?

rebuilt in Java using the Android framework. It wouldn't be too much of a
pain, but it would be kind of time intensive.

I use an Acer Iconia W500 which I picked up as refurb for $350. It comes
with Windows 7 installed but I installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview which
works great and runs DM Genie just fine. I can even run Baldur's Gate 2
while I am waiting for my turn to roll some dice - (not perfect with touch
screen but hopefully new Extended version coming this summer will work
better)! and any other Windows software like Office, etc.
In addition, I have it set up to dual boot Android Ice Cream Sandwich
which you can download from android-x86.org. It works pretty well except
for some flashing due to video drivers and no full video watching support
but everything else seems to work quite well. Development is still
ongoing but it the dev team has been squashing most of the bugs.
