That would certainly be nice. We sure need it ASAP! Reading these forums on my iPhone is pretty painful. Not a problem on the iPad, but on the iPhone it's rough. Though I don't understand why they don't make an iPhone optimized version of the website as well.
We've had a mobile version of the site for close to a year now, maybe more. http://toucharcade.com/?wptouch_switch=mobile&redirect=%2F
Yes, the front page stuff is good, but the forums are not optimized for iPhone which, as noted, is where we spend all our time. In any case I just saw the front page report on the reason for the delay on the app. I hope the dev has a full recovery from that accident. The delay is no big deal AT ALL.
