That's really funny.

Let me what you think after you try to do your LMS.

Exactly.

Or, see if you have any luck playing the Flash videos that are used in all the presentations.

I have those downloaded to my Kindle Fire.

Speaking of asking questions. So we get two emails from the FDCMS guy, JB, today. One says the implementation date is July 5th, same day FOM Rev51 goes into effect. Then we get one telling us he will be on vacation from July 1st to July 8th! So he's getting out of town for the implementation of his baby!! #smh

Default iPad E-Mail Workaround

Part of the design philosophy of iOS is to hide the file system from the user. Company webmail attachment system assumes that you have access to the file system. I don't think that there is any way to make them play nice, though I can imagine some convoluted workarounds.

iOS documents that you might want to attach to an e-mail "reside" in their respective applications. Open the document in that application and tap the action button (box with arrow exiting it) and select e-mail (assuming that it is an option). The problem is that Joe Line Guy doesn't (yet?) have the ability to access company e-mail through a stand alone e-mail app, only the web. So you could e-mail the attachment to your FedEx.com address from another e-mail address that you have set up on your iOS device, then forward that to the intended recipient from within the company webmail system.

Apple, it just works... unless they think you shouldn't have it, in which case, it does not work.

I do not have a company iPad. If somebody that does knows whether or not e-mail apps can access company e-mail, let us know.

There was an FCIF recommending an alternate web browser for iPad that supports Flash (and therefore LMS), but the FCIF eludes me. Anyone have it?

The Puffin web browser claims support and has a two-week free trial to see for yourself. ($2.99 after that.) Chrome for the desktop supports Flash without a plug-in, but I'm not sure about the iOS version. Anyone?

I believe it was Photon.

Maybe it's time to give us Exchange access on the iPad to our email.

The technology exists. All those folks carrying company Blackberrys have had this for a couple years.

Tried out Puffin for LMS on hotel wi-fi (~2.5Gbs down) and it stuttered a bit on audio occasionally and usually on video, but made it through. I would rate it as unpleasant, but marginally useable in this situation.

Anybody tried Photon?
