[Equest-users] eQUEST on an iPad?

[Peter Hillermann]

Vikram,

 

Just an added comment. If you use 3G your data plan will go very fast, so if
you are in a Wi-Fi scenario just buy a good light laptop for production.
Jeff's comment is correct but again you are still trying to access another
machine and using the iPad to screen share. I can run 3Dmax, REVIT, AutoCAD
or any other production tool, but you are not going to produce from an iPad
as of yet, not until it's computing power increases. Not the way you need to
produce in an architecture firm. I've tested this and I use cloud connect if
you are curious.

 

I thought it was cool in the beginning, but you know how much I use it now.
Barely at all.

 

My iPad has a keyboard and stylus cause I thought it would help, again for
powerpoint, word, excel other project management tools it is excellent, but
for production not wise. If you just want one just to have one, get it, but
if it's about production I would wait or get a smaller production laptop.

 

Jeff, I'm not trying to argue with you just letting you know we have also
tested this. Maybe in another few months or so this will be viable or on the
iPad 4.

 

Thanks,

 

PETER HILLERMANN

Vikram -

 

My IT guy is touting a scheme where an iPad (or similar device) can be used
to access a remote, cloud based computer resulting in the ability to "drive"
that computer from your iPad. It is kind of like a "Go to My Computer"
arrangement but based out of a dedicated data center (I do not know all the
ins and outs). Equest would not need to be loaded on the iPad - but as long
as you have internet, you can have Equest. In fact, almost all computing
needs can be organized that way and all that's needed is the iPad.

 

I will let you know what develops...

I was thinking about buying an ipad. Is it possible to run eQUEST on it? Has
anyone done this?
