I built something like this in VFP several years ago.
Remember when those "small form" laptops first came out? One of them was
EE PC or something like that: running Windows XP and I think a 9 inch
screen (nifty little devices: 8 hour battery life easy, quick
"suspend/resume" - as in close the lid, open the lid). In this case they
were driving around neighborhoods checking houses, etc. The app could
use the built-in camera to take pictures, manage notes, get special
instruction, blah blah blah. The system would connect to wifi if
available, otherwise it would just "buffer up" the info until the wifi
was detected. A background app took care of syncing stuff they did or
stuff they needed.
We could have done a full-on web-enabled app but the owner did not want
to initially spend the money on the cellular cards and service <shrug>.
There would have been a lot of other cool things that could have been
done with an always-on internet connection. Anyway, it worked great and
the users really liked the sub-second response time on the functions in
the application.
