Should the Escapist make an iphone app?

Should the escapist make an app where u can watch zero punctuation and stuff on ur iphone?

 

[Cherry Cola]

Yeah sure, it would be fun.

Learn to spell.

 

[Saul B]

Maybe. It would be nice to be able to stream stuff that isn't just YT

 

[Simalacrum]

please don't use text-talk on The Escapist...

*grammar Nazi awaaaaay!*

*ehem*

OT, I guess that could be pretty cool, but I'd rather use a laptop - as I come to this site primarily for its forums, using the iPhone keypad to comment kinda sounds a bit clumsy to me.

 

[Armored Prayer]

Sure why not? So long the app is free.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

I would use it, if I had an iPhone, and if it was free.

And this is not youtube. Spellcheck was invented for a reason.

 

[George Palmer]

yes, as long as I dont have to program it.



The grammar nazis r out n full force 2day. lolz

I'd rather the Escapist not have an iPhone app. What with the stories of people getting run over by cars while stupidly staring at their iCrack toys and walking in traffic, if this site's userbase is ever to win the Darwinian competition, we must keep our hands from temptation. That starts at the top with guys like Mr. Palmer not tempting us down that road.

If I had an iPhone, I'd use it. But I don't...sooo,

 

[Pimppeter2]

I use the Escapist on my phones browser anyway.

 

[Tears of Blood]

That would be really cool.

 

[open trap]

Yes it would be brilliant "kuz i iz teh overlordz of teh Iphonez kuz i iz proclamingz it"

This thread has been done before. Recently, in fact. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.159076]

So, do I want the Escapist to make an application for the iPhone? Hell no! Would it be reasonable for The Escapist to make an application for the very small percentage of their members who frequently use the browser on their iPhones to read The Escapist? No, it wouldn't - an application would be useless anyway, because your sub-par phones lack Flash support, and all of The Escapist's videos use Flash.

Unlike you, I have a proper phone, with a proper mobile operating system. My Nokia E71 runs Symbian S60, the most popular smartphone OS in the world. My phone, running this operating system, can do everything that The Escapist has to offer, because unlike your wastes of silicon, Nokia had the foresight to give my phone Flash support. OK, it needs a separate web browser to open up The Escapist's videos, but then, at least it does it. As for the rest of you misguided fools, maybe next time, you'll support a mobile OS whose designers didn't all have their heads up their arses. Maybe Android, or Maemo, or hell, even Symbian. With all the hype going around about the iPhone, it's easy to forget that Symbian is still well on top, weathering the projected storm nicely by appealing to a market who want a phone that can actually be used properly as a phone.

(By the way, I noticed the difficulty you had with proper spelling. I'm presuming that you typed that message on your iPhone, and the bad spelling is partially a consequence of the terrible on-screen keyboard that they insisted that you use. This message was written using my E71; note that I don't seem to have any noticeable spelling or punctuation errors. That happens to be one of the virtues of a proper hardware keyboard.)

You.

Yes You.

I like you.

I have the same phone and it is pure win.

E71 app required. Internet browsing size is awful (one flaw)

 

[IxionIndustries]

Yush.

 

[quack35]

I look at the forums on my iPod touch pretty frequently, so it could be nice.
