I think it would be very very nice if you could add the forum runner plugin! It allows a native iPhone/iPad app to read and post to the forum while adhering to all the security settings.

    That is an interesting possibility. The company is working on support for the Blackberry and Droid devices. That would certainly help the cause.

    We need to find how many other members would like to use the forums through an app on their phone vs just using their phone to browse the site.

    Martin,
    Thats a fascinating find. I'm going to give it a fly and see how it goes for $2

    Jim,
    While I rarely post form a mobile device, I regularly read the Parallax forums with an iPod touch or blackberry. On the whole its easier with vBulletin than it was previously. There are still some quirks, perhaps Forum Runner can solve some.

    I often use my Dell Streak tablet (Android) to access the forum.

    The downside is, forumrunner has to add the forum on their service before it appears in the list on your device. Parallax would need to install the free vBulletin plugin and create an account on their site. I believe they do this in order to provide the PUSH functionality. Also there is a free, read-only version of the iPhone app.

    It could be useful, but not a high priority.
