Design Engineers: What Smartphone do you use?

I use the HTC HD2 with Android (gingerbread 2.3.2) XDA version!!

And I am using the E-14 app!!

I'm using Apple iPhone 2G; Nokia n78; SonyEriicsson K530i.

Had nokia 5800xm, but traded it for iPhone 2g And I don't regret it

Hi Cabe,

I'm working with Matt on the mobile apps now, so I thought I'd revive the conversation.

There is now the ability to view the whole discussion post thread and reply so I think that takes care of #1 and #2.

I think #3 is an interesting idea and will think about how that could be implemented.

For #4, I believe there are technical issues with being able to play the element14 hosted video on mobiles, but I'll have to followup with Matt.

Could you elaborate as to what type of information would be helpful to be accessible in an "engineering knowledge database" (#5)?

Thanks,

Drew

Just got a Samsung S2, very nifty phone, dual core, lovely OLED screen, very fast, havent got any complaints except for the build quality which isnt quite upto iPhone standard, but still the processor and camera blow it out of the water.

Drew,

I have actually explained #5 to your associated on numerous occasions, you could ask them for any of the material or notes I gave them.

It is a lookup of all things engineering. I said this in a letter to them, "It is like the entire engineering pocket handbook available through the app."

Like Wikipedia, new content is added all the time.

Ok thanks, I'll ask.

John,

I had a Samsung Galaxy s2 for Sprint for a little while, and it really is a great phone. However, I had issues with the GPS and email app, so I returned it. I think the $500 dollar price tag (bought off contract) was the main reason for the return.

I think the Sammy GS2 is a the perfect platform for development and usage in a lab environment, very stable. My other Android phones would open apps slow, operate on a hit or miss basis, and overall unreliable for engineering.

Here is a list of engineering apps for cell phones.

The coolest add on for Android phones, the Oscilloscope.

Exciting!  I can't wait to be a full-time Android user.  I've been running a port on my N900 but too many peripherals don't work for me to be able to be booted into for more than just when testing apps.

I have never found a use for tablet or cell phone in engineering. Don't get me wrong, I am trying as hard as I can to make it work.

Whichever mobile OS is able to run a full featured CAD program, like SolidWorks, will take over as a workhorse. Too many casual users could not care less for such software, which makes the companies stay casual.

Some day...
