Hey this might have been asked about or spoke about before...but does anyone or the powers that be even know if a MSE iphone...andriod...Ovi...etc app is ever on the cards?

I use another forum and it's pretty big too not to do with money saving it's a health one....and the app for this works well even though it is also a large site....

It would be so good to have an MSE one for those days when you need a fix but just can't get to a comp!! lol!!

A lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A., M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don't have a J.O.B."

Don't necessarily need an iphone app, but a mobile version of the site (which would work across all smartphones) would be nice.
IPBoard-based forums like housepricecrash allow you to automatically serve a mobile-optimized version of the site to mobile browsers, which works well with the smaller screen and touchscreen interface:

Whereas the vbulletin-based MSE is a tiny jumbled unusable mess when viewed on a mobile device screen

There's a mobile interface skin for vbulletin too, and it's free - hope MSE will introduce it at some point.
