Client just called and asked about running Mas200 from an IPad. What is the appropriate response? Is it doable via Citrix or Msft RDP?

Definitely doable via RDP. But overall I'm not thrilled with the RDP experience on a tablet. Screen refresh is fine, but apps built for a mouse just don't translate to a touch only screen very well. And you really need to have a bluetooth keyboard except for a little bit of lookup work. You have to learn lots of odd multi-finger gestures and slides in order to do things like scroll windows etc. Open and close X icons are too small for fingers etc. What is their business case for this?

The owner likes the IPad....................... Guess you don't really need a business case...................

But does he plan on sitting at his office desk and using it? Does he do data entry or just run reports?

@JeffSchwenk have you checked out Blythco's bMobile solution? We have tried it out. It is better experience than RDP but it does have some limitations as well (due the the iPad). But for basic mobile data entry, reports and inquiries I like it.
