5. BIRT Mobile HD

Actuate, the people behind BIRT, bring you BIRT Mobile HD. It is everything you loved about BIRT Mobile for iPhone built specifically to take advantage of the power and beauty of the iPad. This native iPad application allows you to take your most valuable asset, information, with you wherever you go. Secured with the power of the BIRT iServer, your content is presented with speed and fidelity.

The client is initially configured to load demo content allowing users to experience the power of unfettered access immediately. The client can be easily updated to point to any available BIRT iServer (or BIRT onDemand) exposing user-specific content on the go. The Mobile User will have access to any and all content they have rights to on the target server. The viewer will honor all existing security rules enforced by the iServer.

The BIRT Mobile Platform features both a mobile client (available for both iPhone & iPad) and a server-based administration application. The administration application (available as a download from the BIRT Exchange Marketplace) allows each iServer user to hand-pick the content they want to access via their mobile device. This makes for a focused, efficient mobile experience unique to each and every user.

The content and information you need to stay ahead of the curve is distinct. Why not leverage the only platform designed to give you exactly what you need, whenever you need it, wherever you are? Let BIRT Mobile HD cut the cord and put the power of BIRT and the iServer in your hands.

6. Grid-In-Hand Mobile Grid

Grid-In-Hand Mobile Grid (iPad) – One button data collection.

Why make data collection harder than it needs to be?

iPad has generous screen making data collection previously done on paper a breeze on iPad. Data collected with Mobile Grid can be sent with the press of a single button. Send via email, and put on your desired FTP server. Send in Excel XLS format or CSV format, and even post data to SQL database all the press of a button.

Use Scanfob barcode scanners with iPad and Grid-In-Hand Mobile Grid for fast data collection for inventory counting, ordering, asset tracking, grocery lists, wine lists, parts lists, hobby parts, books, DVDs, product kit building, packing lists, anything list you want to create with a Scanfob barcode scanner.

Mobile Grid also captures data from the WiSnap WiFi RS-232 serial adapter so you can capture data from barcode scanners, RFID tags, scales, digital calipers, sensors and virtually any legacy RS232 serial device compatible with the WiSnap serial adapter. Data is uploaded via iScanList.com. Several types of accounts both free and paid.

Grid-In-Hand Mobile Grid also provides the soft keypad on iPad while the Scanfob laser Bluetooth barcode scanner is connected. Since iPad hides the soft keypad this is very convenient for entering typed data like quantity and description, while the Scanfob barcode scanner is attached.

Why tap when you don’t have to? Mobile Grid has the option to automatically pop up a number or QWERTY keypad after every barcode scan making data entry even easier.

Stray taps causing you frustration? Often with spreadsheet data entry on touch screen devices unexpected taps occur and put the focus in the wrong place so when scanning the barcode the data is not where expected. Mobile Grid can put every scan in the first column no matter where the focus is on the grid.
