eGO iPod Touch App

[Adam]

I think both, the iPod app and a mobile version of the forums would be amazing. Someone should bring this up to council.

well then the easiest (and cheapest) way to go is a web friendly version of the forums - ie:
m.edgegamers.org
with less flash/javascripting.
i think MOST web enabled phones don't have a problem with long pages. but inadequacies in javascript and flash.
for example. my phone is very web-capable. but i can't use the menu bar on the left. and can't change between the different tabs on peoples profiles.

This can be achieved easily, there are plenty of mobile based themes around for vBulletin so, you install that and make a script where it selects that theme once it recognizes it's a mobile web browser or there is a "mobile" button clicked. Modify that theme a bit to keep it eGO-ish and you're done.

Yes.......make a app of the bb storm! Or even just www.m.edgegamers.org! so we can check the forums from our phones

Yeah, a mobile site would be great. eGO's website, well, it's kinda hard on my poor iPod. And it would be alot easier to do than an app, and it'll reach a wider audience (although i still like the app idea)

Today I was thinking about making an iPod Touch App for the website. Just throwing out an idea. What do you guys think?

This is what it would include. I might also include PMing.

an app would be great rep for us also. i believe this would be a great idea. but would this mean updating the mobile website also? i dont know how how its done but just a question. the whole safari thing is hilarious..but the website on safari on the apple iphone/itouch isnt user friendly unless you zoom in and out to go to links.
