Later this summer we are going to be adding some really nifty new features
to RealeSeller in order to enhance the program, especially for iPhone and
iPad users. I thought I would go over exactly what you can do now, and then
tell you how we are going to enhance RealeSeller to more fully support the
features I'm going to describe here.
MobileMe
Subscribing to MobileMe will be a must have to get full enjoyment from
RealeSeller. Why? Because of the many things we have discovered in our
quest to use the Apple iPhone, you will benefit from our research. Since
MobileMe is only $99 a year, it is a very affordable synchronizing solution,
and using any web browser, you can log in to your contact data from anywhere
with an internet connection. You could even use your iPhone or iPad browser
for this. You can check your Mail, Contacts, Calendar,
Gallery, iDisk (stored files) and even locate your iPhone
and/or iPad if it gets lost.
On your iPhone you will see your calendar
events, contacts, etc., and you can even see your properties when
RealeSeller is installed. All you have to do to get this feature is to place
your contacts folder as a sub folder of the original Contact folder that
Outlook creates. In my case I have Contacts, then Property Items under that.
Other contact style folders can be added. Other categories of contacts if
you wish. Newsletters, Past Clients, etc.
Once you do this, you can, in your iPhone, go to Groups, then choose
Property Items, then choose the property you want.
Once the property comes up, you can look at your notes. Since we have a PDA
Notes feature in RealeSeller you can put just about anything you want in
this notes section and read it when you need the info. We will be adding a
feature that will push the basic property information into your clipboard
when you push a button. But, even right now you can do what you see here
easily.
Information on your clients can be added by typing, or just copy and paste
the information into the PDA note feature.
As you can see below, the Name, Nickname,
Job Title, Department, and company name, a picture, as well as the telephone
numbers, email addresses, the 3 physical addresses, and the notes (from our
PDA notes) is sync'd to the phone. As a side note here, this same data can
be sync'd to your iPad in exactly the same manner.
This is the same property view in the iPad
as it is in the iPhone above.
I can carry a lot of Outlook data on both the iPhone and the iPad. Either
one works. The nicest thing about the iPad is the size. It's small enough
to carry around, and for many of us who no longer have the vision of a
teenager, we can see the data a lot more easily. It's still very clear on
my new iPhone 4, but I don't even need my glasses if I'm looking at the
iPad.
If you have an iPad but not an iPhone, you can make phone calls using
Skype. For just a couple of dollars a month you can have your iPad act as a
phone. Can the iPad replace your computer? In my opinion, not yet. It may
get there eventually, but right now I'd say no. You can expand the iPad
with some pretty cool things like the keyboard & dock.
The iPhone can also be plugged in to this
keyboard. And since it is a dock also, you can plug it in to your computer
or a power adapter. Both the iPhone and the iPad are probably the best
possible tools to help you keep up with things while doing your real estate
business. They are easy to use, and you can use them anywhere.
