Viewing PPOT....mobile or desktop?
 
'Bout a month ago, my hotspot croaked and my cell phone service sucks (regardless of carrier...cell tower overload) so I did somerhing I never thought I'd do....smartphone. I find the PPOT experience (all mobile apps actually) to be totally different with pros/cons...which do you use?

Damn mobile app...I meant for this to be a poll :)

Bulletin boards and mobile are two things that should never be discussed in the same sentence.

Browser no matter the device.

Firefox on desktop/laptop

Chrome on my Android tablet (G-Pad w/ cyanogenmod on it)

Safari on my iPhone

Tapatalk is a mobile app that is fairly popular - Pelican behaves with it. Unfortunately, the tapatalk development group has periodically/frequently "improved" the app and changed so much about it that it is not near as user friendly/convenient as it used to be.

Browser for me too, even on my Galaxy. I just stretch (zoom?) the screen a little to make it easier to read. I don't like the mobile device version at all.

Desk top on a 27" screen. I can't use that damn phone but to perform simple tasks, like calling people or text now.

Desk top only, I use my IPhone for calls, texts, and photos.

Mobile version sucks sweaty donkey balls.

If you need to, just hotspot the new smartphone, and use it to get your desktop onto WiFi.

What desktop :)? My last laptop croaked sometime back...I'll probaby never drive another "real" computer again. Was using an Ipad that I purchased for my mom a few years ago that she wound up not using....Safari was sloooooow via the hotspot, then used an Iphone that I bought her to see if it helped resolve some of my cell phone issues....it did, so that led me to purchasing an Android phone. Pretty happy with the performance of both the Iphone and Android verses the Ipad, but realize the bandwidth required has been slashed...apples and oranges comparison ...pun intended. I'll just keep sucking the orange ....or maybe this is my last post ever on PPOT....as the crowd roars approval :)

Browser set to desktop mode on PC. Browser set to mobile mode on phone.

When at home, I use my laptop, except when I'm in bed I use my phone (but it's getting harder and harder to read it).

Browser
 
Desktop, laptop, blackberry - Browser on all, never warmed up to the mobile view, seemed like I was missing something.

With the mobile view, I see these threads that I don't dare click on....can't unread somerhing. Can't see who started it though....I wonder if it's Vash...just can't take a chance :). Don't miss the stupid stars (rating) one bit though...

Work issued desk unit during business hours, otherwise, on my Ipad at home. I can't stand doing anything on smart phone.
