I'd rather get an netbook over the ipad. Better compatibility.

When the iTampon supports multitasking, has usb ports, at least 2 SD card slots and maybe even support the installation of another O/S, then I will consider purchasing one.

I own an Acer Aspire One and it does a fantastic job for a little netbook.

For about $400, it comes with almost everything you need.

IMHO, 2 must haves are an SD card which acts as the book's hard drive....
i thought the screen was a little weak.

i walk around the house with an Asus 1005ha. Great for watching the market anywhere you go but the keyboard sucks.

I think the 13.3 or near that is the way to go. Dell has a new one that looks like the Zune HD that I like.

I lug around an XPS 16 because I can't put it down.

I currently own an iPad and an iPhone. I trade on them almost exclusively. I took my dads old laptop and I mean old. It's about 8 years old actually. I have it running windows 7 and my MT4 software. I installed the iteleport Jaadu VNC program and ultra VNC server. I can then log in on my iPad in about 10 seconds and access my computer and watch the market and make trades. The screen resolution on my computer is almost identical and fits my iPad screen perfectly. I only have the wifi version but I use my iPhone as a router to connect to the Internet wherever I am. I could do the same thing if I had a 3G iPad. I can also access my computer on my iPhone as well. I think it's a great way to trade or at least watch the market. It's also a great option to trade on a Mac. I just log in to my VNC computer from my Mac and make trades from it. It is almost completely lag free. It's probably the best and fastest way to trade with Apple products. If anyone has any questions or anything feel free to post back and I can give you more detailed instructions on how to set it all up.

Hi baseball, if you could post more details on how to set it up, that would be great. I am going to be in a situation starting next week where I will need to access MT4 on the go.

If you can't use iPad for trading, it has other uses ...

I did a search in this forum and found this link:

I'm thinking of buying an ipad 2 to demo trade at work (at low frequency) before I use my own money. Does any one know if verizon 3G on ipad 2 is fast enough (unfortunately I'm in NYC)? I'm not gonna do a lot of trades to make my manager suspicious anyway.

Thanks for your advice

Hello Baseball, I have just received the Ipad with 3g and would very much like to get it set up as you have yours. Any additional tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Phil,

I may not trade from my iPad the way others do. I will just post it here who knows it will be helpful to others (OANDA user)

I install an app named "trade Interceptor" for my charting necessity (it has the ability to draw simple lines and put up some indicators). When I decided to trade, I just open my OANDA app and trade from there.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the info. It's amazing that Oanda has an iPad app already and Alpari UK is still working on it (iTrader).

Maybe a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 version 2 with the new quad-core Nvidia Kal-El. That would be sweet.

I've been trading for quite some time with Ipad. It may not be as useless as what most think.

I use an application who allows me to control my powerful desktop at home which is loaded with metatrader and my trading platform. With approximately 10 hours of battery life, i can be on the run whole day without worrying about power, while having access to full functionality of a desktop.

The only downside is that, the interface of the control can cripple your speed in trade execution by few seconds, a killer for daytraders like me. And drawing lines on metatrader requires some practice to get it right. I think it will work perfectly for swing traders.

I am thinking to buy an iPad, maybe an iPad mini at the end of the year.
I am trading from iPhone and Android. Stupid managers allocate more budgets to iOS platform than Android, and thats why an iPhone / iPad app has richer features than the Android version, for eg Oanda's Android version doesn't allow to modify the SL and TP on Android. Because some of they develop separate app for iPad, than iPhone I think I need to get an iPad. I would like to replace my phone, so an unlocked 3G/4G version is my target.

Oanda and Ducascopy Eu both has "HD version" of they trading platform for iOS. I don't need MT4, some apps has MT4.video with MT4 on iPad

And there is always the TeamViewer
I want to buy PATIENCE

Hello,
ipod is not good device for trading. When you trad you have to take care of many aspects like market and also signals. YOu have to calculate various things. You can use this device just to take close eye on market ups and downs but not to trade
