...can't see it replace shelves/bookcases of manuals, though it's a bit
more portable.
Now, having looked at it, it's hard to know where to start.
It's for Android, BlackBerry, iPhone -- so it wastes most iPad screen
real estate. Much 1x size text is unreadable; at 2x it's blurry and
cartoonish.
Has buttons Products, Case Studies, Communities, Favorites, Contact Us.
Click Products, What's New, "New and updated products" gets
announcements from 7/11/2011, 7/12/2011, and 10/12/2011. Great for
nostalgia, not so useful for current information.
Click Communities, Experts, get one expert: Willie Favero.
It seems an interesting idea done badly, then forgotten...
