Andrew, There are very good smartphone apps. Counterpath has Bria and there is also the freely available csipsimple for Android. From a tablet perspective both also function there and Counterpath has Bria for iPhone and iPad as well. I'm currently beta testing the latest Bria for Android which now supports bluetooth and also the new Bria for Android Tablet (which doesn't support bluetooth... dumb). Bria for iPad is excellent as well.
Samsung has their Galaxy Player that does not have a cell radio in it but still has wifi, bluetooth and gps. This unit also has a replaceable battery and can function quite nicely as a wifi phone. http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mp3-players Mike On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 1:01 AM, Andrew Radke <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Tony, > > We are looking at outdoor coverage but with a lot of trees and vegetation. > > Considering your response it shows that things have changed in recent > years too… > > We do also have large wifi coverage already and are constantly increasing > it.
