Which mobile platforms do you use?

[briareos_kerensky]

Right now I don't have any "smart" mobile platform and if I'll ever buy one if will either be an Android or Windows phone.

Works fine in saari on iPhone and ipad. No need for a mobile suite unless I am missing something

I just use the regular site on my iphone, I don't like cut back smartphone versions of the forum

Ok, looks like I was worrying over nothing. I've got a Nokia 5800 express music and although the battery lasts for a week and it does everything, the Opera browser is a bit hard on the tiny screen with BordersDown, so I have to use the mobile skin, which does not have any admin options (just browsing and posting). I'll see if I can grab an HTC to play with for a bit.

Everyone should really be using tapatalk to access the forums on android or iphone. So much faster and better than web browsing. Well worth the price.

The new version of vbulletin will have Forum Runner integration (which is like tapatalk) built in.

Also, I'm a daftie - looking at google analytics tells me:
50% iPad
20% iPhone
20% everything else.

Looked at the hidden costs for the vbulletin App....
It's $200 to buy, but..... ?100 per year after that!

Then if I want you to be able to access it:
For iOS:
Must setup an initial Apple Developer Account (with Apple) at a cost of $99 (payable on-line via credit card)
There will be an annual renewal cost of $99 per year for the Apple Developer Account (payable to Apple)
Must have - or have access to - a Mac computer
For Android:
Must set up an Android Marketplace Account at a one-time cost of $25 (payable on-line via credit card)

So initial cost is $325 plus the cost of buying a Mac!!!
And then $200 per year after that.
hehehe. LOL.

Oh and wut!?! at the delta between iOS marketplace and Android's.

Maybe a rain mac.

Also, I think Forum Runner is free for basic stuff (modding and PM push notification is ?1.28)

[charlesr]

I just installed Forum Runner as a plugin and it's good. I tried the FREE version on android.

It has a "NEWS" button at the bottom which shows you the reviews and features on the homepage very clearly

The only problem with all this stuff is that the widgets (homepage and forum sideblock) disappear. Not a massive issue.

The Raincoat Admin. You could make it play an 'Amazing Grace' midi when you go into the admin panel.

Tapatalk on iPhone + Safari on iPad = absolutely fine as it is.
