Yeah. An ExpertFlyer app would be nice, for both Android and iPhone. The mobile site isn't so easy to use because the links are small.

ExpertFlyer already has a mobile version that was specifically designed for iOS/Andriod/WP7 and other WebKit based mobile browsers. You may be thinking of the "WAP" version that we display when you are not using a WebKit based browser, that is a simpler, purely text based version. However when you go to http://m.ExpertFlyer.com on one of those newer mobile devices, you see a mobile website that is just as functional and properly formatted as any mobile app we would create.

Not an APP but speaking of this, what is the easiest way to rent a DVD rip it copy it whatever on my Windows XP PC where my itunes resides and have the movie sync to my iPad to play?

Got to be a relatively easy and cost effective way to roll.

Thanks

Handbrake is the application definitely.
BUT is ripping it legal? unless you rip it from your own, if you rip it from a rented dvd, it's not legal.. :(

travel app comparison
 
I've been testing three travel apps side-by-side. The were tripitpro, worldmate.tripcsse and flight update. Last week i flybinto some story weather at ord and all my tavel plans changed. Tripitpro was the standout winner, sending meultiple emails and offering advice on alternative flights. I think it sas best by a mile!

Do I understand that EF does not work on a Mac with Safari but will work on an Ipad?

I looked quickly at the FAQs but couldn't spot this. Could you provide a lonk to more info, including limitations on the version that is IPad usable.

Thanks.

ExpertFlyer does work on a Mac with Safari, or any WebKit based browser (like an iPad). In addition, we have a mobile site made specifically for touch devices at http://m.expertflyer.com You can use either one on your iPad.
