If you use aworka it doesn't matter if computer/tablet crashes as you can access you work from anywhere. You can use a smartfone and you don't even need a signal as you sync your work when you get home.

You could drop your phone in your trad bucket though I suppose then you might struggle

[andy east sussex]

very true so do many of you guys use them as we don't just do window cleaning we do many property services in different vehicles or sub contractors so can you easily add jobs to diary

[CF Facilities]

I used to do contract cleaning, decorating  and even air conditioning work all through the Aworka program. You just need to create a different job type. The rest is the same.

They are working on the possibility of raising a new job while you are on the road working on the shortcut version you use on the phone which will be good but I just wait till I get home.

Not sure on multiple users how it works as I am sole trader but it works fine I think.

Cant say thats ever ever happened to me where a crash has caused me to loose any data.. ive not really ever experienced a crash like that.. same  with virus.

Ive been using computers for 16 yeas.

Don't get sour about it.

lol

[andy east sussex]

still haven't found the right tablet pc yet

[andy east sussex]

anyone use the galaxy tab 3 or do you just use the ipad

[Soupy]

There is no "right" tablet. I'm sure polequeen or h2o"I'm only 21"cleaning will be along soon enough to tell you how ipads are the only option but it all depends on your budget.

Personally I can't see past the Nexus. Very affordable, comes in a range of sizes and will likely still be getting updates from Google when the current igadget has been adandoned by Apple or they stop making chargers for it.

If you genuinely want a tablet just for light workloads like this, try the hudl.  Dirt cheap, power enough for basic stuff. http://www.tesco.com/direct/hudl/

Nope, personally I like the iPad Air and wouldn't have anything else.
Like anything though, horses for courses.
Like Vin says the Hudl is a great bit of kit for the $.
My mum's got one.
For what she uses it for, it's no worse than an ipad but 20% of the cost.

You can't prejudge me soupy. As you're a miserable old man you'll always err to the negative. Sometimes you'll be right. Sometimes not.

I'm no older than you durty. I can prejudge whomever I please.

Sorry, for accuracy, you can't accurately prejudge me you miserable man.
How's that.

[Soupy]

Better. 

[PoleKing]

You do realise that you & I are now communicating on 3 different threads. Just us.
Romantic innit.

Makes me feel warm inside.
