Reading TubeNet via iPhone is pretty easy. Posting via iPhone is a whole nuther thang. I'm not a texting kind of guy so I don't know but texting via iPhone must be pretty annoying, too.

I've never seen an interface for use while mobile for a forum like TN. Stefan says there it's possible on a board he uses. Would be interesting to try it. Don't know if the owner would be up to it. He's busy enough with the current format.

I usually read and, if I must post, I think about it until I get to a real keyboard. The feeling usually goes away...

I downloaded Opera Mini onto my Boost Sanyo Mirro and it works well enough for me, but after a while I couldn't post anymore. I'd enter the text and then it would wipe clean right when I went from the text box to submit it. Also, I can't seem to use T9 on Opera Mini. Oh well, most people on here would probably be happier reading less of my ramblings... :lol:

I'll look into android app development tomorrow.

Someone should make a list of what is wanted in said app.

I was actually going to compliment Sean on the simplicity of the site layout as is; on my android it lends itself very well to mobile use. This reply is being done with the swype keyboard and is pretty quick. Only a fair amount of "zooming" is needed for me. I don't know that I get enough PM's or anything to need a separate app. Kudos for a great site, mobile or not!

I installed the free app forums pro on my iPhone. The app has only 2 stars but it works great with tubenet. This post was made on my iPhone using the app.

a texas A&M message board i frequent built a mobile site within the past year. I'm not sure how much work went into it, but it is very minimalist in nature.

here is their forum page for normal browsers: http://v4.texags.com/Forums

and here is their mobile forum page: http://mobile.texags.com/Forums

I am assuming that since all the posts are contained within databases, it just a matter of making a bare bones site that loads fast on phones. How much time and programming that requires, i have no idea.

I thought this was what you meant by a Tubenet Mobile:

And I thought the TubeNet-Mobile was like this, but with a bigger trunk.
