NS needs a App.

NS needs a App for both Blackberry and iPhone (more importantly Blackberry).

I know i cant be the only one who has thought about it and was wondering if you guys might try and make it happen, cuz that would be pretty righteous.

Agreed. But seeing as the iPhone has 65% (or whatever) of the mobile internet market, I would think the it would be a higher priority than the Blackberry. haha

But there was another thread on this in Ski Gabber. There were even mockups/screen captures from the SDK being thrown around. Someone needs to develop this. A good app from the App Store would easily be worth $4.99.

Surely there would be a higher demand for an Iphone app with this demographic than BB?

yeah I use NS on the mobile Safari quite a bit as well, but it's still not perfect because of the layout of the site...... basically for the interface you need something that basically just pulls this center frame of NS where all the threads/thread text is, ditch the outer frames and make those separate screens that you can swipe over to (like the online list or PMs, etc.) and put the ads in a nice tidy bar somewhere near the top of the main frame.

As long as you had the ability to go to the full site (have a link). It drives me nuts when you go to a website and you can't access the full page on your iPhone, when the iPhone is fully capable of displaying it.

Per Scott's advice, I don't think NS needs an app, everyone just needs Opera mini.

A app for video and photo updates.
And a mobile site so we can browse without freezing this shit out of our phones/touch's

Have you tried a hard restart (press the home and sleep buttons together for ten seconds)? NS works great on my iPod touch, aside for the fact that it's huge and a little difficult to navigate on an iPod touch/iPhone.

Everyone knows how to do this, correct? On my bottom four, the third app to the right.
