Don't you have an iPod touch iirc from the purchase of a macbook pro? It has better internet than the blackberry.

Even if he does, this is about his Blackberry, not his iPod Touch. :eng101:

I'm not going to carry around two devices that both do the same thing with the exception that one makes calls and one doesn't, I'm going to keep my Blackberry on me at all times because I can make calls, use most any useful app I'd have with my iTouch, and have access to the internet anywhere on a powerful 3G network. No point in carrying around the touch and hoping for WiFi wherever I am.

I use my iPhone and the forums work really well on them, so I haven't thought much about a mobile version.

We could look into getting a skin for mobile users and then automatically applying it via Javascript or whatever. We're slightly understaffed on the admin end right now though.

I was considering making a WAP/Mobile skin for the forums at one point, though I wanted to add more functionality before I did something like that.

It's really a matter of figuring out telling which javascripts to fuck off and making the skin show everything a bit more streamlined-like on smaller screens, at least, for the mobile skin.

A WAP mod would be a complete overhaul of like, everything. :v:
