There are some programs in AppStore that allow you to save and view such files, but editing of those is not possible yet. bye, steinex archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone

He's the VP of the Electrical/Mechanical Division of a large construction company. A hands-on kinda guy who came from the electricians, he's on the jobsites every day, works 12-16 hours. The company loves him. He came to me to see about a new laptop he could carry on the job to replace the one in his custom Ford dually diesel pickup his boss gave him for Christmas. He needed something to carry up the building to talk to the office system to interface with his secretary, supply manager, and the office staff. I suggested a Nokia N810 with some of the great freeware from maemo.org: Abiword - word processing Gnumeric - spreadsheet Xournal - a drawing program that will draw and highlight on top of pdf files, then create a new pdf file with the drawing you do as an extra pdf layer to a new file. Nokia's email client in the OS is fine. Evince - ebook reader for large system manuals He talked the boss into it as it was so cheap. I set it up for him and showed him how to use it. Ok, so what?...... He's on top of an 8 story building with a troublesome HVAC unit that's disfunctional. He calls his office on the sellphone and has his secretary send him a scan of the schematic for this new unit to his tablet email account on gmail. The mail arrives, he downloads the pdf pages, opens them in Xournal and finds the appropriate drawings for this unit's controller. Using the drawings on the tablet, he soon finds out what's wrong and makes notations to the drawing with the accurate stylus the tablet contains in much higher resolution than any finger could match. He denotes which parts he needs, right on the drawing, making notes in the margins and highlighting some notations that came with the drawing, to complete this task. He simply writes his instructions to his buyer in the margin or on another part of the drawing. If it's extensive, he uses another page as you can add pages at the touch of a menu. He exports the annotated pdf to another pdf file, leaving the original unmolested. He emails the new pdf with a simple note to his secretary back to her desk....standing right next to the troublesome unit 8 floors up from the truck...saving TIME. A few minutes later, his drawing is emailed back to him by the procurement department with a question about one of the parts they cannot identify. As he's already standing over the open unit, he looks at the part and gets the information off the side of it, emailing it back directly from the tablet. His parts are now on their way and will be on the jobsite within a couple of hours. He tells his foreman and goes on to put out the next fire that flares up blocking progress. He's also using rdesktop back to his WinXP box on the office network to access his desk computer from anywhere. But, we had that on the laptop before he got the tablet. His boss liked it so much when he played with it he bought one for every manager in the company who would use it..... His jobs are too far from the office to go back and forth unless it's absolutely necessary. Many things are sent to the laptop in the truck, which has a USB printer on it. They run all day for email and fax. The tablet's not for everything, but shines for many things like the one I described from on top of a building, where carrying around a laptop with its dead battery just isn't appropriate..... http://www.techforless.com/cgi-bin/... mv_pc=google_base&tts=20081102020701 2 left at $314.... http://maemo.org/downloads/product/... http://maemo.org/downloads/product/... http://www.abisource.com/ http://maemo.org/downloads/product/... http://maemo.org/downloads/product/... archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone
