Tapatalk and other forum apps?

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!!!

I use it to play Pandora when I'm over at the gym by myself. Of course, then I can't blame anyone but me for the playlist.

Wow, have we gotten off topic. Sorry, Irulan.

That's fine. I noticed that this forum is based of v-bulletin, which is probably why it isn't app compatible. One of my other forums ( theskidiva, women's only skiing) just upgraded to something else because v-bulletin is phasing out support. I suspect we might see changes here someday because of that. Then we might get embedded video support too, yaya.

I really dislike trying to read discussion forums on web browsers on my smart phone. Tiny text and you have to zoom in to see it. Tapatalk makes it MUCH easier to read and navigate!
