Re: Mobile application - after Greg Hintermeister's article reading

Will they have WiFi access? That should work fine if they are out of range
of a GSM signal. All but the least expensive smartphones have WiFi.

BTW cellular data service is hardly pervasive in the US. There are plenty
of dead spots and we even have carriers like AT&T blaming the phones
(iPhone) for bad coverage when everyone knows it's their lack of capacity
planning & deploying, i.e. failure to invest in their infrastructure, that
is the real problem.

Somewhat timely, my wife's smartphone was stolen from her place of
employment earlier today. It is a couple of years old, so I guess it's time
for an upgrade.

Guys,

I understand all advantages of using Web App instead of native Mobile App.
I think about native app because of one main reason - connection. Poland
is not like US with GSM range ... our salesman will work (maybe not
often but still) in such places where mobile phone havn't access to
mobile web, however they still have to work. How to resolve access to
ERP system without access to GSM? Web app rather not support such issue
... or maybe am I wrong?

About fragile - yes, Hero is delicate ... but CEO say that we havn't
money to buy "hard" devices ...

Regards

Tomasz
