Reporting Services 2012 mobile support

Question

Hi,

Does anyone have info on mobile support for Reporting Services 2012. We've found

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlrsteamblog/archive/2011/10/13/power-view-pass-and-mobile.aspx

which is a year old. It states the direction/strategy for "web based BI solutions" including SSRS for mobile devices (Android, iOS etc). Timeframe is set to 2nd half 2012. SQL Server 2012 SP1 is in CTP4 now and we can't find any info about better support for mobile browsers and devices.

Has anyone found anything else or can share some experience? Our alternative is Telerik reporting which would be a new component for us which would add overhead to our project since the users and report writers know SSRS today.

Thanks!

Hi Mansos,

So far, my information abou the Mobile BI is gained from the Microsoft BI Team's MSDN blog. There is a blog about Mobile BI posted on 3 April, 2012, you can refer to the following link:
Gartner BI Summit Day One Recap

If you need further information about the Mobile BI, I suggest that you contact the production group. Please see the "Contact US" section of the following site:
