Hi All

What Android devices are you using with it? I've got it on my Sony Ericsson X10 Pro phone but looking for recommendations for tablets.

Thanks

As LEA support, the main advice I have given schools it to steer away from the cheap generic Chinese tablets (typically 7-10") that are everywhere.

If you do go for a cheap tablet, such as an Archos or Advent, make sure it is a capacitive screen. Resitive screens are a bit of a faff. The only comparable tablet to an Ipad out there are the moment, that I have played with, is the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The new Asus Prime looks nice and the Sony tablet is well built.

I agree with @SteveB - cheap wont be cheerful. I would love to get the new Transformer Prime, but it's a little dear and doesn't have 3G which is not a showstopper but can come in handy. I think i'm going to get a Galaxy Tab for testing.

We have a motorola xoom on test but to be honest its not a patch on the ipad 2. The ipad is in a different league of user friendliness.

Whatever I do, I just cant get the Windows Azure link to stay stable.

I keep having to restart the service every couple of days.

Is anyone else seeing this? It basically makes the system unusable for people over the internet :/

Just got the trial installed today. So far got it working on an iPod Touch 3rd Gen, an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2. All running latest iOS. Will be pushing out to an iPad 1, an iPhone 4s & some more iPod's again all running latest iOS on Monday.

On first impressions it looks good. Training the PE staff how to use it on Monday.

I'll keep you updated with how it goes.

@RichB - moved your post here, as most of the other info is here.
We're got a test on a couple of ipads at the moment. It's great, much more space to work with, so it's more efficient.

The service URL is for your local server where the groupcall software resides. Or if it's hosted, whatever URL they gave you. Are you just trying to do a demo?
Then, close / delete the app. Start again, when you first load it, it should ask you if you want to connect to the demo server and clicking yes should connect it for you. No config required.
