Táve On the Go

I have to admit, unlike most of the photographic population I do not have an iPhone. Shocking since everything else I own has a little apple on it (including my van).

I have an Android phone and my life is in it. Including Táve!

It may be called Táve iPhone Access, but it works swimmingly in my Android browser, which is awesome when you are running late for a bridal shower and have to access your client list to postpone your location session because the rain is pouring down. The only regret is that I did not discover until recently the awesomeness of the mobile feature, which lets me access my account quickly from anywhere.

Just visit www.tave.com in your iPhone or Android browser and you should be automatically taken to Táve iPhone Access at tave.com/iPhone.

Shame you cant access tave from a Windows Mobile phone :( Tried Opera, Pocket Explorer, main website, the iphone site. Nada.

Yeah the “iPhone Access” site will only really work in browsers based on the webkit engine like Safari and Chrome, which are the browsers used in the iPhone and Android respectively. Mostly because it was based on what was state-of-the-art mobile tech only available in Safari when it was released a year and a half ago.

When we revisit the mobile app to add editing, we’ll be able to make it far less webkit specific since the mobile web has progressed a lot since then…. and our Blackberry users would have words for us. :)

Its a shame this doesn’t work on my Palm Pre (webOS) All i get is the iphone access logo at the top and nothing else. The phone is itself is more than powerful enough to run it. good new is phoe is more than capable of running the full version of the site.

The next version of the mobile site will be compatible with more mobile browsers. When we first wrote the iPhone Access site, there just weren’t many options for a solid mobile web experience, but that’s not the case today.

The nice thing about using a mobile version is that it’s never as big. Our main site downloads nearly a megabyte of javascript and images during its startup phase that is slow to download even on 3G and tough on a phone even with wifi.

You can try taking your browser to http://www.tave.com/iPhone/ but chances are it won’t display properly as it uses some WebKit-specific features that the Blackberry browser wasn’t remotely capable of handling back then. Our next mobile version will be more universal as phones across the board have improved by leaps and bounds since then.

Is that in this upcoming release or a future release?

The iPhone Access web app was released two years ago when the iPhone debuted. It was the first studio management system for the iPhone. :)

The Blackberry support discussed in the comments above is in reference to our next mobile version, which we don’t have an ETA on as we’re focused on Táve 3.0 itself.

Aw bummer. AT&T needs to get their act together so I can get an iPhone!
