The overhead of using Json over HTTP vrs pretty much anything else
(binary over sockets etc) is going to be negated by the speed of the
internet - or lack of it.
The round trip from your POS to the server is going to be 1ms on a
local network, and possibly 10-100ms (or more if it's 3G/4G - 2-5s
it infrequently.

Another Question
I can say that I've been using a web service backend for most of the
processing in my app, have made probably close to 100-200 calls while
developing it and I've never had it timeout. Are you thinking the
unreliability is innate to web services or just the way Monotouch handles
them?

We have our own web-services on our own servers and use them all the time
for all sorts of purposes and don't experience problems in using them so I
know they're running fine.
From the iPhone I was regularly getting timeouts getting a connection. So
steps I took to progress...
1. Using the
a small
amount of data and do it infrequently.

I personally like ProtocolBuffers see :

http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-net/
From their website:
/protocol buffers is the name of the binary serialization format used by
Google for much of their data communications. It is designed to be:
small in
Actually there are two mature implementations for c#. This is the one I
personally prefer as its a little more light weight

Hey Dean,
Apart from the technical limitations, coupling your web services with your
RDBMS is generally
if
it works? Or tell me what I am missing / doing wrong?
Thanks!
