In reading about the Dungeonscape software for 5e, I was intrigued by the network between the DM and players tablets. Apparently, this will allow the DM to control combat and push notifications to the players tablets. Is there anything like this out there for Pathfinder? Will Game Space work with tablets?
Looking up what Dungeonscape looks like. Hadn't heard of it before.
Sounds like it was cancelled for 5e in October, but they (Trapdoor Games) put up a kickstarter for it a week ago under the name "Codename Morningstar": https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/trapdoortech/codename-morningstar?ref= nav_search
We currently have all the rules on the web, so that portion of Dungeonscape is out there, but slim picking for good all encompassing character creation.
My software of choice for building Pathfinder characters is PCgen. It's not a 100% complete builder/compendium for Pathfinder, but it's pretty damn close. It's free, and far more complete than any of the paid software like Hero Lab.
Fantasy Grounds works for desktop systems (PC/Mac/'nix) now and they are currently re-writing it into Unity and one of the things they are currently looking into is Tablet support, phones might be a bit of a stretch though.

If you're talking actual tabletop software, as opposed to what the OP here is talking about (just a rules database + character builder) then Roll20 does everything Fantasy Grounds does, and more, for free. It can currently be run on Android using the Firefox Android browser, and the next month will have an app to make it fit/run better in Android tablets. 700,000 registered players compared to FG's 21,500. Nothing to download/install. The list of advantages go on and on. Currently the only reason to recommend any of the other VTTs out there is because you don't know enough about Roll20.
And by free you mean create (and/or find) scripts yourself? :)
Edit: I have no idea why, but this is now coming up as a recent thread when I do a search for PCGen related threads. Wierd
