We have been looking into bringing our current application to a tablet and have been looking at SmartClient to do this. We are currently using SmartClient inside of our current web app with great success.
I have since downloaded the 8.1 LGPL and have begun playing around with it. I have modified the SmartClient_Explorer.html under smartclientSDK/isomorphic/system/reference to use the “Mobile” skin instead of the default “Enterprise” skin.
What I’m finding is that a lot of the samples included in the Feature Explorer just don’t work, both on a tablet (iPad) and on a desktop browser (Chrome). I see lots of errors in the Javascript console about images within the skin not being available as well as failing to load resources (here is an example while trying to open the Layout -> Windows -> Auto Size example):
ISC_Drawing.jsFailed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (/isomorphic/system/modules/ISC_Drawing.js)

Is mobile device support (& therefore the Mobile skin) really ready for primetime or am I just missing something?
