Weekend Open Forum: Single page vs. multi-page reviews

[captaincranky]

No sir-- it's the point of view for developing a site: design for mobile devices and then alter the presentation for non-mobile. This makes the website coding far less difficult than approaching it the other way around.

Well then, as long as it gets reverse engineered in the process, with pages and index, to accommodate we stay at home Luddites, I'm good with it.

With that said, I got the idea that we were/are, getting one or the other, not both.

As far as the "40% of devices are mobile", you've quoted, I gotta ask, does that percentage carry over as such to Techspot's membership, or are there a bunch of 14 year olds, "running up the score in the general population", as it were?

In any case, I bought a small tablet last Black Friday, ostensibly to use as a, "digital photo frame". The plan was, this "device" would be something I could carry in my camera bag, in order to be able to show photos on the spur of the moment to anyone interested.

So, I bought the tablet, and a mini-secure card for "storage". Well, that was 7 months ago, and I haven't found a gallery "app" which works without being connected to the internet. So, do me the honor of being my tech Moses, and lead me "out of the wilderness", or tell me it can't be done, so I can toss the turd out next trash day.

(OK, this tablet is Android. I'm guessing I could buy another tablet running Windows, and that would have the "Win Photo Viewer" app installed. But is that really a solution)?

No, it's an internal design decision - - the presentation is ALWAYS per the user's device used for access - - {mobile vs desktop}

That's a world wide web stat, totally independent of TS. 40% is too LARGE a number to be ignored by any website.

understand - - I have many travel log archives on my iPad for just this usage

I use an iPad and the app "Photo Manager Pro 4.5.0 by Linkus Inc". It allows me to organize as I chose; year-country-city-site for hdmi->hdtv presentations

@jobeard Um well, Windows 10 "Signature Edition" for 80 bucks, wish me luck:

If that works even a little, the Android sh!t is headed for the trash can.

Surprisingly, the little beast got a pretty fair number of 5 star reviews: https://www.amazon.com/NuVision-Tou...60039&sr=8-1&keywords=nuvision+windows+tablet

Oh well, what the hell do customers know anyway?
