Yup it will increase conveniency to all LYN Forum lovers

I personally don't think it's worth the effort (at least for now). While I'm also an iPhone user as well as a developer - I don't see the iPhone user community big enough to cater for a customized app just yet. Also, if we have an iPhone app, what's to say if others request apps for other mobile platforms.

As mentioned by others, mobile Safari so far works ok with the site; the lo-fi version provides a pretty quick access. For those who want to track new replies to your favorite threads - use the many RSS news readers that's available for the iPhone and just add your thread's RSS feed to it.

Having said that, I think it's been suggested before (in the suggestions section) for a "mobile version" of LYN. This will be much easier to implement and will also be easier to port in order to support different mobile browser views. I would love to see this being work on rather than a customized app just for the iPhone OS platform.

For users; there will be no need to add any extra apps and no problem of dealing with AppStore etc...

How about the below suggestions that i made on the other thread?

1) best place to eat
2) wifi finder (for msia)
3) GSC or TGV for local cinemas (plus booking)
4) Bus timetable/LRT/ Kommuter timetable
5) News app to get news from local newspapers

ahhoe80, pretty good ideas you've got there. I like the third suggestion best.
I would also love to see "Football club updates" like for Liverpool and such where updates and team news would be updated to it.

I'm currently working on 4), and 5) will be the next project after.

to fyire,

Thanks mate for the effort on this.

Why not we gather a bunch of developers to kick things off for this? I am a developer but so far have not developed any applications on iphone yet. So to get to know people like u will definitely enlighten me more

kaki bola lagi... sommore liverpool lagi... Go GUNNERS!!!!

If someone can come out with a good idea that can justify the need for a dedicated iphone app for this forum, i have no problems developing one and putting it on the appstore(registered dev).

Also, the food finder option looks interesting, does anyone knows a good site where data can be aggregrated? hmm

that's the point of this thread bro. we *are* already discussing about it. perhaps you could join forces with fyire, it'll be done faster

btw, google maps has restaurants listings with reviews.

OT: This is perhaps the only thread Ive seen in LYN about iphone development.

I did post once back in December over at Code Masters that there'll be a talk on iPhone development during the Mac & iPod discovery week held at 1U then. The talk was given by somebody who's contracted with Apple, but nobody seems interested then.
