What about iPads and Galaxy tablets ???

I use my iPad quite a bit in the course of the day for business. I try to follow the market, place trades on the same iPad but the experience is daunting to say the list. The website on iPad is very unstable unresponsive and many functionalities are just not available ( graphs). May I make a suggestion that some efforts are to be invested in the upgrade of your platform to accommodate iPads and galaxy tabs since many of us are now using these devices much more than a conventional PC. Any thoughts out there ?

Currently I don’t believe that it is possible to view websites with Java on Android phones or tablets. Aside from the fact itself that Java applets don’t work in Android, there are a couple of behind-the-scenes reasons for this. Android itself is written in a Google-developed version of Java. This Google-developed version is open source (the whole point of Android), and the actual Java Runtime Environment isn’t. Since Google’s Java is running, the other one most likely won’t be compatible without major changes. Oracle, who currently owns Java, has already been breathing down Google’s neck, trying to sue Google over any lines of code that it finds in the open source “Javaâ€� that might be in Oracle’s Java. These tight relations over Java use will probably prevent actual Java from running on Android devices as well. I hope that answered your question.

Stream your desktop onto your ablest sing remote apps from the App Store...splash top or log me in apps....I now using log me in app...so I have all the charts on my iPad...including easy trader....you can place trades directly on the iPad though...agree with you though, about getting a proper OST app...
