Mac Rumors iPhone App
What would you like to see in a Mac Rumors iPhone app?
Should Arn even develop one?

Sounds like someone is waiting for version 1337.0 until the release. But by then it needs a new update...
Actually, sounds quite like the supposedly thing that happened with the original Facebook idea.

I heard rumors that they will be releasing an app in 2046. Along with an update to the site.

you gotta be leary of those macrumors rumors. typically they are less reliable than mac rumors themselves!
MacRumors iPhone App
Hey guys. I've just started on a really basic iphone app for Macrumors. So far it includes; 3 tabs: News (Main Page), Forums, and about, all the mobile versions. The app also has basic navigation bars at the top.
Is their any features in particular you guys would like to see in the app?
Thanks,
Alexiit
Also: Is their actually any demand for an app like this?

Surely there's no need for one?
Just go to Safari, load MacRumors home page and then "Add to home screen" and the jobs done!
well if your not happy with the web-format on the iphone then there would be a need, or want, for one.
I would like to see some sort of quick-reply feature, so when replying, a whole new page doesn't need to be loaded.
Post fail, that thread is someone askin a dev to make a app this guy is making an app and asking what people want in the app
Haha yeah. But guys I cant really think of a way that i'd be able to add a quick reply feature?

LOL............Go tell that to Facebook, TUAW, Engadget and all the various Wikipedia Apps that are out there. They actually do a stirling job of reformatting web pages and in many cases, add functionality that's not available on the website or that doesn't lend itself to a different medium.

Did you read the thread? It also links to others threads discussing the same topic.
This could be very useful if done right. The thing is, though, that a client that simply renders the macrumors pages as they would be rendered in Safari won't cut it. A good client needs to strip the formatting and present the posts in a way that feels iPhone-native.
guys what features are you looking for?
Isn't there a mobile version of macrumors?
For me I would like a simple UI to read forum post, and maybe editing.
I don't need other fancy vbulletin features on a tiny iphone screen
gays what features are you looking for?
I'd guess size but that would be stereotyping.
