Possibly, since I don't use a smart phone on a daily basis, I'm still not seeing the question.
What would be different in programming UV to interface with a mobile device, vs programming UV to interface with a web browser? Aside from screen layout. Which was why I asked about potential uses. What kind of uses of a mobile device would require special programming? over a normal web interface / web service except catered to a smaller screen? I haven't been asked to produce any mobile output, but now that you brought up the subject, what kind of things are people using mobile devices for? that uses a new interfacing method. If it's something I can suggest, I'm all for that. Maybe we should have a mini thead on "Cool things I've got my UV system to do with a mobile device!" - or at the least, "cool things, I've got my system to do with a mobile device - just not in UV" I don't see this as a UV deficit, but rather a knowledge deficit in the sense that if we don't know what we can't do, it's hard to want to do it, or realize that we should be doing it!

With hundreds of thousands of apps out there for every mobile device, there are any number of potential uses for mobile access, regardless of the platform on the back-end. With apologies for my directness and not the content: Pick people need to stop thinking like Pick people and start looking at what the rest of the world is doing in terms of data access and updates. To answer your question more directly however, many companies these days look for things like reporting, BI, dashboards, GUI, and web services to satisfy their needs to communicate current data to trading partners, management, and other employees. The mobile device is just another UI where you can gather and provide information on a timely basis. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
