If you do a reachability check to say Google, it really shouldn't take long and can probably be done synchronously. The way I do it, when they click submit, I validate the form data and check reachability, if any of that is wrong, I throw up an alert. If not, I call my webservice async with a callb

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? On Thu, Oct 2
