Anyone else try to use HomeNet on their iPad?I've found HomeNet to actually be faster in safari and on my iPad then any other browser. However, you are not able to save any changes and return to inventory once you are in a vehicle edit screen. From what I have found, most everything else of importance works, except this and the vehicle market price analysis graphs.HomeNet, If and when you actually release 2.0, I hope you're going to take pads into consideration and test out all versions of browsers and mobile browsers for compatibility. It is 2011.Anyone else have these issues in safari or on thier iPad?
 
The saving this is a hassle so I made it a habit not to use Safari. I'm gonna check it out again, I like to think I'm patient but load times and rendering and waiting and the waiting and MORE F#*... I'll leave it at I can't stand waiting for slow programs!

See if you can get access to a MacBook Air with a SSD hard drive. It could be the way resources are used in Safari with HomeNet and somehow it is pulling on the hard drive. If that is the case, a solid state or flash drive is going to reference things faster.

I too have noticed certain websites working much quicker on my iPad and MacBook Air compared to my MacBook Pros and Mac Mini (Pros and Minis have regular spinning drives). With the exception of the iPad (iOS 4) my other machines are all on the same version of Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.7), and the MacBook Air has the smaller processor, less RAM, and most hard drive capacity eaten-up. The only difference that makes any sense is the SSD.

It isn't all websites; it is only a handful. You should give it a try though. Then ask HomeNet if they've noticed this.
 
I do photo and video inventory uploads for my dealership and I'm trying to streamline the process for us by using Ipad video/photo technology over wifi to upload the media to IOL. I don't have an ipad I can test out presently in hand- does this sound like it's outside the ipad's capabilities?
