Re: OT:Kinetic apps and some iPad fun

[Doug Blair]

** John, So to resurrect a thread from a couple of months ago, do other Remedy apps work on your iPad, or is there too much dependency on Flash in the current versions?  I don't expect Flashboards or the CI viewer, but how about minimal functionality on an Incident? Safari's a supported browser. I don't expect the iPad to be able to do *everything* in 1st iteration, but I was impressed with Steven Colbert's use of an IPad as vegetable slicer the other night. Can't really do that well with an iPhone. Doug On Apr 6, 2010, at 11:29 AM, John Sundberg wrote: ** I checked and yes Kinetic Response works with the iPad. So the idea is a mobile worker or manager in a meeting can immediately connect up and see the high priority issues and participate if needed.  BTW - I am responding with the iPad. It is surprisingly fast - not sure if it is because of the ssd hard drive or possibly because for the most part it is single tasking - either way - I like it. -John Sent from my iPad On Apr 5, 2010, at 4:47 PM, "Paolino, Andrew" <apaol...@columnit.com> wrote: ** And somewhere between 300,000 and 700,000 people agree. Despite some of the obvious limitations of the technology, there’s certainly a demographic that is (at least initially) finding this useful.   John – Does KD Response work as well?

She wants to use a computer and access the internet. She’s never used a computer and hates using a mouse. She loves pointing at things.
