Btw, feel free to leave any suggestions or ideas you have about the TA app (interface, content etc). Its quite possible that some of these ideas will get implemented.

Thank you for the info. Smooth interface similar to facebook with easier access to the forums, news would be awesome and of course with alerts and notifications. The possibility of chatting with our fellow TA'res would also make TA app more progressive. I just can't wait!!

mobile site would be better IMO.

It should have a front page section, showing whatever the current article is, with the option to see older ones, via swiping or a button.

The most important part to get right though is the forum integration. It should at least have:
-basic editing tools (bold, italics, colors, etc)
-image uploading from the device
-ability to view all threads similar to how they are arranged now, not just subscribed ones or certain sections
-ability to create new threads
-pm integration with push notifications

If there ever is an app it most likely wouldn't be an HD version so I'd encourage it to be universal instead.

I'd hope it doesn't feel like a watered down version of the site, rather it should compliment it by being as full featured as possible while still be optimized for touch control and iPad/iPhone screen size.

TouchArcade deserves better than that D':

Maybe there could be some kind of drop-down menu that can make navigating easier (Front page, Forums, PMs, User Control Panel, etc.).

The front page could look the same, but just with a bigger font.

Paid version without ads, free with them. Support TouchArcade :P

An app would be great! I think a forum integration would be the most important part! (as mentioned earlier: uploads from the iPhone/iPod would be great!)

I've been wondering about this for quite some time now. Seems funny that a site dedicated to iPhone/iPad gaming does not have an app for itself nor a mobile version of the website. Really hope this is in the works!
