For Android tablets (ex. Toshiba) all the technie has to do is create an applete for the password.

I do not have a solution to the problem being discussed here, but I have developed an untested app for the ipad which keeps scores of "party bridge" tallies using a spreadsheet from Numbers. The spreadsheet remembers and displays each person's score for the day, not just the table. I would really like to get some feedback and testing of this app, so please contact me if you would be willing to do so. schott brian gmail com (replace the spaces with the appropriate punctuation)

Thanks,

Brian in Atlanta

I have BBO the web version just running on my iPAD 2. I installed a new browser "Photon Flash" ran it instead of Safari and brought up BBO - logged in and watched. I have not tried out everything yet.

The Flash problem is indeed unfortunate , preventing playing BBO bridge on an IPad. Does anyone know if the IPad3 which will be announced in March will allow us to play BBO bridge ? If not, what about the Kindle Fire ?

Unfortunately Iphone or IPAD don't support flash player so is impossible use BBO on this hardware, but it'll be great to do so!
Any people from technical support has an idea how it will be possible?

Thanks

wow...these discussions have been going on ever since the first ipad came out.
somehow all ipad discussions should be combined into one forum, so people can read
about remote control software or other flash enabled browsers for the pad. :rolleyes:

If apple just supported Flash, BBO bridge could be played on apple devices just like any other modern device that supports Flash like PC;s, mac's, xoom, galaxy Tab, etc. :rolleyes:

Just tried Photon Flash 1.8 on iPad (3).. I would not recommend this $4.95 app.

It is awkward to use with keyboard. It forces you to select to use flash. It repeatedly will re-prompt you to see if you are still using it (even watching an amazon instant video - not sure why they use flash). Click and drag, for example to change the size of the user/result area does not work.

Finally, and this is not really the fault of the app, BBO needs to be tailored to a screen as small as an iPad to work well. Maybe someday, BBO will have "tabbed" windows that are easier to manage to switch between views and environment management. Then it might work pretty well, but I would not expect that to happen in flash which is truly an awful (outdated) way to handle interaction on the web.

I did not try testing the audio in a teaching or bidding table. Perhaps bidding table might be one place where this would work ok.

Hi,
have an iPad, try this:
Install the browser called Puffin Free from the AppStore and go to the BBO homepage to loggin. This browser have an icon for Keyboard and one for Mouse. Enjoy the game. Margit

Actually I'm comfortable with iPhone and i would like to iPhone very much.So if you’re already an iPhone owner, do you need the iPad too? The answer depends on how you currently use your iPhone--and on what you want out of the iPad. Think of it this way: If you’ve ever found yourself wanting more from your iPhone, you might consider investing in an iPad. Do you watch a lot of videos on your iPhone? If so, you’ve probably wished that the display were larger. Are you a gamer? iPad games blow iPhone games out of the water.
You know Google give away Iphones ?

Given that there is serious uncertainty in terms of how things are going to play out in this market (including with respect to whether or not Apple devices will remain popular or if they will go the way of the Mac), we are currently unwilling to commit the necessary resources to an Apple-specific project (sorry).


According to the May 2012 IDC Worldwide Quarterly Media Tablet and eReader Tracker:

Quote

Apple shipped 11.8 million iPads during the quarter, down from 15.4 million units in the fourth quarter of 2011, and grew its worldwide share from 54.7% in 4Q11 to 68% in 1Q12.

Sounds like Apple is doing OK with this iPad thingamajig. Might be worth reconsidering the potential market of a native iOS app.

And Fred's point is still valid. The technology we used for this app is not Apple-specific, it allows the same app to be deployed on all these platforms (just as the switch to Flash allowed the same web application to be used on Windows, Macs, and Linux).

And just like Flash, Adobe reserves the right to randomly discontinue support for any platform at any time. Boooooo!
