I just purchased one to use my CAC card with my iPad. It has given me access to my CG email on my iPad and so far it's been pretty good. The APP is free but the device was pricey. Just a few bugs but again, it's working decently enough. Has anyone tried anything similar? What options do you use?

Thursby has the PKard Reader (free) and Pkard Mail (19.99) app. The Mail app I'm assuming is a more native app for mail? Have you had any luck with that application?

LT,
I had another product a few years back, and had more problems than it was worth, as you mentioned numerous bugs from the software and compatibility. I wish you luck and hope yours works better than mine did.
