Tablets and PP's?

rpncaine · #1 03-19-2013, 10:40 AM

I'm close to pulling the string on a tablet that I want to use at the track/OTB. I prefer Bris Ultimate PP's when handicapping. Can anyone provide feedback as to which one's would be best? I really liked the I-pad that I was looking at but am not sure I could highlight and markup on the PP's with it since no Flash. Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks.
Roger

Brisnet pp's work fine on android and iPad. Formulator does not work well on either. The Tampa boys swear that the I-pad with the iAnnotate PDF app works the best and I have found it to be a good combination also.

IPad - tried to avoid buying this thing and used my wife's android tab but night and day difference.

Assuming that to be a rousing endorsement of the iPad. I'm looking at the newest with the Retina display. It seems to be awesome!

It is. I tried a number of annotation apps but landed on IAnnotate. Very intuitive and easy to use.

I second iAnnotate PDF as being a great application. I use it my dayjob stuff, too. I hadn't thought to use it for PPs- thanks for mentioning it! Totally going to do that next time.

I have a nexus tablet. I can't use my bris account. It says download failed. I can only get PDF from capitalotb.com

I only use BRIS Ultimate PP's and have had my ASUS android tablet for 6 months. I have had no problem downloading and using the PP's. It even worked at Santa Anita on Breeders Cup day and the bonus was that SA even had free wi-fi on track. I didn't know that at the time but it was a nice bonus. My local OTB also has free wi-fi so I can just show up and get whatever I need.

I would only recommend IAnnotate for the Ipad. Android has a downgraded version of it for their tablets that doesnt have as many features (i.e. text box) as the app for the Ipad does. I use ezPDF Reader on my Galaxy Tab 2. It is the best one I have found for Android.

I've had decent success with Good Reader on my iPad. . . I use Formulator, and recently discovered that it works close to perfect on the Puffin browser app.
