Default iPhone

I remember a while ago someone mentioned they used TT on their iPhone.

Having just acquired the aforementioned telecommunications device, how does one go about it?

Cheers

I don't know about TT&iPhone.
I hope someone will be here along the road.

But I know that chicks like apples,
and the real reason for me to post here
is to bring you the kindest regards from a good mate of us,

I believe it was me? If not, I have mentioned it before...

It is not about directly using TT on the iPhone, it is about using the iPhone to remotely control another PC to give you the impression you are using TT on the iPhone.

I believe there are a couple of options, but the one I ended up with was a little program called logMeIn Ignition. I think the Ignition portion of the name is the iPhone extension, as it also works through the web, and through PCs.

So, quite simply, you log in to your PC using logMeIn on your iphone, and there you have it, full control over TT from the comfort of the palm of your hand.

It is not ideal, but certainly useable. Took mine to the Brisbane International tennis a few weeks ago, along with a couple of portable battery backups, and traded the finals via iPhone/VPS. Sitting in Australia, at a live event, trading, with full one click advantage. To be honest, I clearly was not alone.

Thanks for that.

So you just start your PC, then log into log me in, and you can control everything from the iPhone?

Does it cost anything?

Do they mind people trading at the matches?

Yes, your computer must be on. I would recommend a VPS, as this is secure. No need to have your BF account open to whoever is at your house. Can control a dual monitor system on your iphone. Obviously not an ideal way to trade, but there are certainly scenarios where it would be a benefit.

I believe I got the free version.

You are just on your phone, so as long as it is silent, there should be no issue if you are allowed to take it in.

What is the touch screen like? I have often though about trying out a touch screen computer screen but the only ones I have ever seen really are in shops and they almost have to use a hammer for them to recognize a touch on the screen.

Be very careful if you are trading at tennis matches as I know someone got ejected from Eastbourne for something very similar. Quite how they can tell the difference between trading and texting is beyond me as the amount of people texting was a fair few but I guess texting means you dont tap away after every point

TBH the iPHone has treated me pretty well. Been through a lot of phones, and apart from a couple of things lacking, I am pretty happy with it.
Touch screen on it is pretty good. I guess my fingers are on the bigger side, and I have no issues typing anything out with it. Only issue I have is when I am talking and trying to tap on end call, or keypad or something, as sweat/water on the screen tends to take away from the tappy...
Apart from that, you don't need to be aggressive at all.

I have seen a few other touch screen phones (not many, just a few), and iPhone is way ahead in terms of usability.
No doubt there are better phones out there, but if you already have one, you can certainly achieve a bit from them, even if just as a remote control.

In this case you have iphone deelay(gprs) + PC delay (DSL). Too much deelay to fight against phone traders...
