We are definitely not opposed to the mobile app idea, and will eventually will pursue it. However, as RSGZ mentioned, we wouldn’t want to support just one platform, which complicates things a bit.
However, I have a Droid and can get pretty much full use of the site on it. That’s what’s great about the iPhone and Androids, you really don’t need apps for online use.[/quote]
Hmm, spoken like an engineer and not a true designer
And you don’t need an “app,” per se, but a mobile version of the site, period. That would circumvent dev headaches of juggling multiple platforms (WP7, iOS, Android).
This site could definitely benefit from a mobile version. Check out the mobile (or “touch” ?) WordPress theme; I’ve seen some sites use it and it doesn’t seem like much but makes a big difference in mobile viewing.[/quote]
My “you really don’t need apps for online use” comment was really more of a joke. I agree apps and online versions do make mobile browsing a ton easier. And that’s why we’ll eventually go that route.

I see. So you meant MOBILE online browsing negates the need for apps? I didn’t read your post that way, but instead a “well, just view the site as it currently is on your browser, unoptimized for mobile but still accessible.” (seriously, all engineers think this way, unless they are also UI designers)
No disrespect meant, just a friendly jab
