Arbiter works on the droid!!
 
Arbiter works on the droid!! It does not work with the default browser however it does work with Opera, a free browser that you can find at the app store on the Droid. I hope that this helps others out there.

Help others?
 
What's a Droid?

Is that one of them electronic calender thingies or one of those extras in Star Wars? ;)

Great! Now if I could only get Opera to work. SAK, you running 2.1 update?

Adam Mon Apr 05, 2010 09:47am

Yes, but does it have full functionality?

Are you kidding? Oprah is probably the hardest working person in show business.

Oh wait, you said "Opera". Never mind.

SAK:

It had to be complete serendipity that you started this thread. Mark, Jr. (MTD, Jr.) and his younger brother, Andy, both bought Droids last month. The umpires association to which Junior and I belong use Arbiter and he discovered that he cannot access Arbiter from his Droid. I will give this information to him about using Opera. Thanks for the information.

MTD, Sr.

Opera is the way to go. I have it on my Blackberry and the Arbiter works well on there as well.

Adam Mon Apr 05, 2010 02:38pm

Arbiter works acceptably on my BB, giving me info I need in a pinch. I wouldn't say it works well, though.

I am running 2.1. The update hit my phone this am.

When accessing arbiter on the droid using Opera Mini I find that I am able to access everything that I need to access. I have updated my blocks, viewed my schedule and even changed the assignors group. I do find it easier to use the 4 way joystick rather than using the touch screen when using opera as the android OS has yet to incorporate the pinch zoom. Also if you don't log out, arbiter will keep you logged in. I do find that it is easier to allow the droid to remember your user name and password for arbiter and then bookmark the main page that shows up after you sign on as if you are like me and work for more than 3 assigners you will have to sign out and back in to see the assigners as the quick change view only allows you to see the first 3 assignors.

I think that it works well but only time will tell as it is new to me too.

I have the BlackBerry Tour 9630, and last week I used Bolt! Browser to accept two baseball games on Arbiter since I was away from a computer for a while. It was a little clunky but got the job done. I haven't tried to access it since then though.

Thanks SAK. Reinstalled Opera last night after getting the 2.1 upgrade. Arbiter appears to be fully functional and using the 4-way mouse on the slide out keyboard was the trick to navigate the site.
