[pianotech] iphone vs smartphones and tunelab etc.

[Porritt, David]

Dave:

I'm using TuneLab on a Samsung Windows Mobile smart phone and it is just like the pocket PC....in fact it is a pocket PC with a phone integrated into it.  Since Apple is involved with iphone apps there are bound to be differences.  Unless you just have to have an iphone I'd stick with the familiar and the same features you have used for years.

 I have been using tunelab for tuning and conducting PTG exams for
over 5 years now.

    My current device is an old HP smartphone;served me well.  The
contract with my mobile provider just expired this month> My HP is at the end of its life; battery holds little chrage anymore, components are becomeing extinct......

   A friend showed me the iphone tunelab briefly and it appears to not have all the same features. I was not able to instinctively quickly discover how to do some of the same things as on the hp such as tweaking individual notes touching the screen, or get into exam mode....etc.

Are things missing? Is the inteface just different, or not as developed yet?

  Comparisions welcome, & recomendations of devices to upgrade
to. I can't go backwards on the programing tweaking capacities.

  Anyone have both iphone and windows version and can run down the
comparisions?

   People that have upgraded their smartphone setup recently have 
anything they can share from their search and final result....?

                                        Cheers
