Feedback on Tablets: RDP Route or Windows Tablet Route?

(1/2) > >>

Hi People

SambaPOS is the most user friendly and easy to learn POS System I have come across and hoping to implement my system very soon. Once the hardware arrives that is. Thumbs up to Emre and everyone involved.

I have tested SambaPOS on a 7" Samsung Galaxy Tablet(Android) using 2X RDP APP. Not bad but I felt that there was definitely some lag. I also did not rate the touch screen on it.

Common sense suggests that a Windows Tablet that has the sambapos installed directly on it will be more responsive but I am yet to test this as I do not have a Windows Tablet.

So my question what is likely to perform better?

Android via RDP APP "2X"
Apple Tablet via RDP APP "PocketCloud"

or a Windows Tablet?

Please share your experiences in this post.

Anyone?

I originally tried a galaxy tablet and performance was OK but every so often communications would hang so it was what I would call unreliable.

I swapped to Sony Windows tablet which was roughly the same hardware spec but I never had the RDP bottleneck so it proved reliable and usuable.

I have never bothered with Apple kit as I dont like them again mainly because the known issues when communicating with Windows based systems.

Hope this helps.

When the WebApi is more complete it will be very easy to code Win8/WinPhone 8-, Android- and iOS-Apps for SambaPOS. RDP-Protokoll is havier because there is more data transfered. The WebApi will be a simple http-rest-api which would be faster but you have to code a client. I think on the longrun the WebApi will be a better aproach to do mobile touchbased POSing.

Thanks for sharing your experience Lemmings. Is your tablet running on Windows RT? If not do you know if it will run on a Windows RT Tablet?
