iPhone Compatibility or Flash Alternative

[zhanng]

Hello. With the iPhone gaining popularity, and now the iPad following suit, the lack of a good Flash alternative for FusionCharts seems to be a great hindrance. The only good solution I have found so far is to save a JPG of the chart and show it if Flash is not present. For the charts that don't change too often, this solution is ok. However, some of our charts change daily which is becoming a maintenance nightmare. I haven't found a way to automatically create a JPG when the data changes (although, I may not have looked hard enough).

 

 

 

Are there plans to create such a feature? Or, maybe there are plans to make FusionCharts more iPhone friendly?

 

 

 

Thanks

Hey Dan,

Thanks for your concerns and suggestions.

We are planning/implementing a product which will caters to the iPhone/iPad users who love FusionCharts and/or FusionCharts Users who love iPad/iPhone.  At this moment, I'm not authorized to divulge anything more beyond this point, but then again, suspense has always been the spice factor in everything in life, right?

Thanks from the FusionCharts Team for your continued patience and patronage.
