Mobile Timesheets on Windows Phone 7

By blurg64

A couple of weeks ago I finally took the plunge and got rid of my iPhone and replaced it with a Windows Phone 7 and promptly upgraded it to the new Mango release. After using it in anger for a while, I can’t believe I didn’t upgrade sooner.

Now why am I telling you this? Well whilst out on the road last week, I forgot to complete my timesheet. My company, like many others out there use Project Server 2010’s timesheet capability to record the time for each project we are working on. The only device I had on me at the time was my WP7, so I thought I would give it a go.

To my surprise, PWA popped up and rendered perfectly in Mango’s IE9 app. Now as I haven’t worked out how to screenshot in WP7, I have opened up PWA in the desktop emulator to give you an idea of what it looks like.

Zooming in by pinching the screen will let you see more detail. Unlike the iPad that I wrote about previously, moving around the page is very simple and easy to achieve.

If you are in need of a mobile timesheet and task solution for Project Server 2010, then you can’t really go past IE9 in Mango. Nice work MS!
