Oh DA.N! Does this mean I have to go buy some device that uses TapaTalk? Which one?

How is TapaTalk different from DragonDictate???

Dragon Dictate is a speech recognition program for Mac. TapaTalk is an app for accessing online forums from mobile devices.

Very glad to hear the news. This is the only forum I visit at all regularly that's not accessible via Tapatalk. FWIW, I use Tapatalk on my Kindle Fire and it works very well.

Is there TapaTalk for T1? ;D

Hmm, maybe I should get around getting it for my mobile...

Perfect, looking forward to it.

So if I access MobileRead from my android tablet, and I don't access it through Tapatalk, I'm going to get that annoying pop-up that goes something like "This forum has an app for this android device. Click OK to learn more about Tapatalk."?

I believe you should see that popup only once, and then when you acknowledge it, it should store your setting in a cookie (if your browser is setup to accept cookies). Not 100% certain though.

We're currently evaluating various options. Apparently we have more freedom in deciding how Tapatalk would behave here if we go for a premium Tapatalk solution.

Okay, thanks.

Although I do have a proclivity to clear cache and cookies. Maybe I can set up some exceptions.

Wait. So your solution for those of us who do not want anything to do with Tapatalk, is that *we* have to allow Tapatalk to install a tracking cookie in our browsers?

So, basically, in the future MobileRead will be a Tapatalk-only site. *Everyone* will be required to either use Tapatalk, be forced to carry a Tapatalk cookie or have to endure Tapatalk pop-ups?

Did I miss anything?

A lot

browsers means browsers(like chrome, firefox, dolphin, opera, ...etc) not the Tapatalk application

Wonderful!
My father passed away a little while ago. As many people of his generation he wasn't interested in this "internet fad" so there is no connection at his place. I'm going over there a few times a week to clean up, throw away and generally reminisce. My only connection to the wired world is through wireless 3G in my Galaxy Note.
I'm on a few other boards dealing with other interests, some of those I can access using Tapatalk. It is soo much easier than the Android browser. Tapatalk is optimized for the format of your device, not the forum. As always, a great bunch of moderators here. As soon as it is implemented I will change my signature line.

The end is nigh!

The popup is easily disabled server-side, and a more elegant solution as a user option is said to be upcoming.

I'm beyond grateful for it, as most days, I can't participate and hardly navigate MR, and it's my favorite forum. Tapatalk is a godsend, accessibility-wise.
