Tapatalk and other forum apps?

Just sayin', I like my phone and it's nobody's business if I have it on 24/7 or not (which I don't, in case you think I do) It's like the mac vs pc thing. Every
time smart phones are mentioned the "I don't have one" contingent comes out, and you know what? It's getting really old and boring.

This forum does have RSS feeds - Free RSS is actually a pretty nice way to view it on a smart phone (or well, at least my Ipod). The viewer is pretty good - doesn't have tiny, tiny text and if you want to post something one tap will take to you the actual web site.

Sorry, that wasn't my intent. I just figured TE would want a straw poll before they signed onto something that was going to cost them page views. Maybe they should put up a real poll. But then again, since the retail supports the forum a lot more than advertising does, maybe losing page views isn't that important to TE, either. I dunno.

I access TE on my phone all the time. Via the browser, which as I said is my preference. Waiting room magazines are boring and usually months old. And if I don't have to drag a six pound computer around every time I'm away from home overnight, I'd just as soon use my phone then, too.

And it is on 24/7 and at my bedside at night. Besides being my alarm clock - I'm not the only one who might possibly have an emergency. A phone "only for emergencies" isn't a whole lot of use if no one you need to call has THEIR phone on.

Doctors' offices and hair salons' magazines! The magazines are not only old old, they don't subscribe to anything besides celebrities, parenting or fashion. ARGGGGGGGG!

I use my smartphone or kindle fire for web browsing. I almost never turn on a computer at home. Along with everyone else, doctor's waiting rooms,etc. they come in handy!

I also use my phone 24/7 for work. I am in an on demand industry and have to be accessible via email,phone,text at anytime. I couldn't imagine working without one. Really increases productivity!

Most unexpected use:

One day before our put-in on the Grand Canyon. Our trailer light broke in Kaibab, no parts to be found. Shuttle company specifically states they will not shuttle trailers that aren't 100% working.We would have been screwed on our trip that we waited 15 years to take. I took a photo of the bad parts, emailed to my son in Phoenix, he was able to match up the part at an auto parts store and bring it up with him that evening. You can't do that with a not-smart phone.

My phone is capable of doing just what you mentioned, so my phone must be a smart phone

I'm not much of a photobug or reading things on my tiny phone screen. But I do use it as an MP3 player with about 6 hours of music time. I have one of those pre-paid plan. CHEAAAPPPP!!!
