Anyone using an ipad for Service Monster?

[Giorgio]

My Windows laptop has some bugs so thinking about purchasing an Ipad.

Last time I tried the ipad w service monster it seemed sorta clumbsy, akward and not as fast for navigating SM.

What's your experience? Is an ipad as fast as windows once you get accustomed to it?

George my droid tablet is bitchin.. faster than my last lap top...

for now there is a diluted down version app of SM for the iPad. It works and lets you do the basics. There should be a version coming soon that works with safari and that should give you the same service as windows.

It does have its limitations, but my iPad is super fast with 4G. I have been using it daily for 2 months and could not imagine being without it now. Goes with me every where.

Cool,

I just picked up the Samsung Galaxy 4G droid tablet.

So far so good.

Havent had a chance yet to play with http://mobile.servicemonster.net but i have a feeling once i get use to the new layout i will like the tablet better.

Thanks

ServiceMonster sucks using a tablet.

1. can't look up site History.

2. Can't copy a previous Order.

3. have to drill down like 4 levels to create a new order.

4. can't edit Fillmyschedule orders.

what takes 60 seconds using InternetExplorer can't even be completed using a tablet.

can't wait for the new version to come out.

Yeah the mobile program isn't really acceptable in my opinion. Pretty crazy to sit there in front of a client... even with my ipad with verizon LTE 4g. You have to dig down multiple layers to do anything within that program. Not to mention that every time you let it sit for a few minutes you have to log yourself back in to the program. (love that part)!

The program needs a simple to use app that is downloaded onto your ipad/iphone etc. Than you log in to see your schedule from the road... Simple, quick, and efficient.

On second thought,

Service monster and my new Verizon 4g Tablet computer rocks!

Granted, a few SM features are missingf in the mobile version but the speed and convienence of the table, not to mention built in gps, more than make up for it.

Two thumbs up!
