Tractorpoint on Smart Phones
I have, and use constantly, an iPhone, I'd be lost without it, it's literally like having a laptop (and a LOT more) in the palm of my hand.
I use the mobile TP site often, but it won't allow me to post there, I still have to load the 'regular' site in order to post, so it results in me skipping a lot of opportunities to post.
I used to be a "I have no need to get a smartphone" person too, till I got one, no I wonder how I did without it.
I can even use it to turn lights on or off in my house and adjust the thermostat from anywhere.
There must be a big demand for it since some other forums have obviously invested heavily in their "apps" and mobile sites.
Best of luck.

[QUOTE=kwschumm;180255] Maybe the iphone or android would be worthwhile, but it's sort of hard to use one when you live where the cell service is poor.
At home the cell phones just get turned off. [/QUOTE]
That's funny Ken. With us it's the opposite, the only high speed internet service available to 2 of my 3 residences is via an iPhone or other 3G/4G device, of course once I'm in the air it's the same thing, iPhone or no internet.
Both devices also remember a WiFi network and automatically log on when within range.
That alone is really handy to me since my PBX phone system at the office has an interconnection to the WiFi and VOIP router, if I don't pick up a call on the 3rd ring and the WiFi router says I'm on the network it routes the call to my iPhone automatically. I can be out in the yard or on the shop floor and still answer my 'office' phone.
My cell provider also has a service that will route my cell call to my iPhone via VOIP anywhere in the world, without long distance or roaming charges as long as I'm on a WiFi connection.
And then there's always Skype on the smartphones too.
Best of luck.

Hmmmmm, maybe I spoke too soon.
Seems there's a glitch, I posted from the mobile site, and it uploaded it, but it only shows on the mobile site, not the regular one.
Best of luck.

I've been using both sites side-by-side for some time now.
Since the mobile site was much faster to load I could check it easier, but since I couldn't post there I still had to load the regular site to make a comment.
I also like the new format of the mobile version a bunch better, showing the full thread instead of having to open each post individually makes it way easier to read.
Keep up the good work Dennis!!
Best of luck.

Also wonder if users like the auto route to mobile or want a choice of mobile or full site.Some iPad and tablet users might prefer that.Thanks!Dennis

When I access the site from the iPad I just use the 'regular' address, I only use the iPad on the WiFi so bandwidth isn't an issue.
Best of luck.

No, if I go to "tractorpoint.com" it doesn't redirect me to the mobile site.
Best of luck.
