    Now there's a specific version of TA for the idevice when typing in toucharcade.com into safari on the idevice. Definitely don't like in comparison to the full site. How do you revert back? Please tell me there's an option lol..

    It's in development, it was only meant to be viewable by certain users. It should be deactivated for standard viewers of the site for the time being.

    Oh alright, that's interesting. I think the design is pretty fresh, but it's such a hassle clicking tab after tab to get to where I want.

    Haha at school right now with no cable.

    Best tool ever. Doesn't have ads or bugs and is small and quick to load.

    Standard layout is fine

    I must say that the standard TA site ain't broke and doesn't need fixing. The mobile version is drastically worse so far. Maybe eventually a time for change will come, but for now I'm happy with the current layout. Please at least leave the option open.

    1. It's a work in progress, of course it's horrible right now. It's like version 0.000000000000001 ;) It even being seen at all by anyone outside of the circle of trust was an error!

    2. Yeah, there will be a toggle.

    Seriously though, Blake recently switched over to working with TouchArcade full time and he's going to be handling a ton of behind the scenes stuff we've been lacking for quite some time. This means mobile friendly front page, forums, and other fun stuff like that.

    As far as how long it will all take, well, I'm not sure we're at a point yet where we're ready to give any estimates beyond what I already posted. ;)

    Something that works very well with the current setup and iPhone 4 is the double tap feature to zoom in on a certain area. This makes it easy to focus in and out between the articles and forums. I hope the new design will incorporate these types of iOS features rather than just simplifying. Also TA has a refreshingly creative vibe that I hope will be preserved in any new form and not made more generic. Thanks for all your work and for leading the iOS news circuit.

    We could always just have the Chinese jump all at once to divert us from the sun.

    So this is why I couldn't view TA on my iTouch the other day.
