If you don't have an iPhone, you don't have an iPhone.......

This reminds me of when we were in the shower and you were telling me you had shrinkage and that it wasn't size but how you used it. It's like that now, you coming up with excuses why you don't have an iPhone

Just kidding bud, you know Iz lovez ya, ya big lug

 

 

LMFAO..........Dude, your my "communications director" when I run for congress. Can't have you on the other side

 

I thought this was going to be a post about finding good Ale on an overnight... talk about disppointing.

 

Speaking of your EVO. How or can you get on Icrew?

 

Dude, (since you abide;-) its not about putting PDFs on the device, thats been possible for a long time on many mobile devices including Apples.

The beauty of iPubs is that someone else is doing all the work and all you do is push "sync" and all your pubs are up to date.

The innovation here is the work the individuals behind the scenes at iPubs are putting in to make this happen, that's what makes this so cool.

Well, dogs have been able to lick themselves for hundreds or years now, so I think they may have us all beat.

 

That's it exactly George. Let somebody else do the work of checking to see what needs to be updated and keeping the files current. After setting it up, all the user needs to do is push a single sync button.

Now, when I got my iPad a few weeks ago I figured I'd be updating my pubs on it anyway, so why not volunteer to be the 737 guy on iPubs. I keep things current for myself and anyone else that wants to use it. The feedback from users and the fleet guys is being shared with the Delta 4th floor people to go with the EFB study. Hopefully it helps speed up a solution and ease the implementation.

This from the iPubs website:

How iPubs Works

With iPubs every Delta pilot who participates will have push button update capability. An administrator, or Fleet Jedi, will manage a folder containing fleet specific files, regularly mirroring the files from the Delta server. This folder ( i777, iM89, i747, etc ) will be shared so you can sync directly from your iPad.


Four other shared folders, iPlane, iPath, iPeople, and iALPA will be maintained. These folders will contain files applicable to all pilots; fleet common files like the FOM and the contract.


iPubs uses GoodReader on the iPad as a file manager and viewer. SugarSync is used as the server for storing the iPubs shared folders containing the master files. Goodreader can be setup on the iPad to point directly to the iPubs shared folders. To have a complete iPubs library, be sure to join your fleet folder, all three iPPP folders and iALPA (about 1.5GB for all five).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, iPubs is set up to use SugarSync and GoodReader to do its thing. As GoodReader is for the iPad and iPhone it won't work on Android based tablets or phones but there might be another product that will work. As far as I know SugarSync works with Android and that's where iPubs' files reside. So if there is a reader for Android that can do what GoodReader does for the iPad then it should work just fine. Would love to have a volunteer get in touch with the iPubs Administrator (email address on iPubs site) and work out the Android solution. This isn't about iPad versus Android. It's about an easy way to keep pubs current.

 

TYG, did you get your problem solved or are you still having trouble? SugarSync seems to go down a lot and cause problems. Most guys report that it takes several attempts to get the initial sync completed with no explanation for why one time it fails and the next it works fine. The iALPA Jedi and iPubs Admin is talking to the SugarSync folks to try and find the answer but it appears to be a SugarSync problem. There is a bunch of info on the DALPA forum about this. I'm not very computer savvy unfortunately.

 

On Deltanet, look for a link from DT on how to get to icrew with a smartphone. You need to use Dolphin and make sure you follow the directions EXACTLY on how to configure the user agent. Works good on the EVO. The only thing I haven't been able to do though is look at open time.
