Silly idea

I have been doing research on WC3 sites for my final project in one of my classes. It got me wondering.. how many of you would like or dislike a mobile app for the new forums? Read and post while your on the go =D
It could open up a few more doors as well for ibis expansion as well as being a eye catcher to others outside of our community.

just a poll and something to discuss.

This ofc being accepted by zero.

Umm....cant we just use our web browsers on our cell phones? My Crackberry has one and im sure other cell phones have it too....so why make a diff version?

i dont know entirly TO much about it yet but from what i am reading is that it isnt really a new version. just a url for phones. so when you are at home on your comp and type in www.ibisgaming.com you get the normal page but when you type it in the address bar with your phone. it reads it as a wc3 site and you get a faster more efficient forum while using your phone.

I know what you mean. For example I was at the airport a couple weeks ago and pulled out my DS to browse the internet. When I tried to go to www.ibisgaming.com, shit was hard to navigate. A DS version makes more sense then a mobile app.

I'm on the forums on my blackberry all the time. I have no issues with the way it is, seeing how it comes up the exact same as it does on the PC.

anything really, a quicker way to post and reply to threads on the forums when mobile or not near a desktop.

I guess anything involving some innovation with the new forums zero has planned.

I could look into wheather or not there is some sort of universal format that can be used to browse by phones to DS and PSP's

well... one way would be nice is that if the phone app has a built in inbox, so that when u get inboxed on the forums, it appears as a text in the app and u can directly reply there..?
i know u can subscibe to stuff and check them on ur gmail, thats what i do, but would be a thought.
not to mention that if the whole website had a mobile version, u can access a mobile version of stats, games, who's online , messages, threads, etc...
could be an idea...
now i go on the forums on my iphone4, which is easy to navigate even in .com mode, but it depends on how much time is invested in those... if worth it ...
as for the forums, its not a bad idea, specially since sometimes loading a page can be a bitch in low reception places...but who's gonna make it ?
