I guess I missed this:

With a portable power pack it should work fine (though a few of the reviews are indicating that the USB connector's dodgy).

...But then again, if you're willing to put up with a little bit of lag (though it's nothing compared to Android tablets), you might as well use a Windows machine (like the Surface Pro or Asus Transformer). Canon - and almost certainly Nikon - have utility software for PC and Mac. Despite the lag, you will be able to control your camera, and view some info like the histogram.

This is a potential solution:

And this:

They're obviously not tablets, but the Lilliput is an IPS monitor, and it can be run off an LP-E6 battery. It's also about the same price as an android tablet. The Adafruit is also an IPS monitor and, in theory, could be hooked up to a portable power source (though the setup might be a little cumbersome).
