I am typing this from the iPad... Enter all my moves off the iPad and send all my messages of my iPad and play all my live games of the iPad so.... Sometimes off the iPhone too so...

I play off my iPad too and the only thing I can't get is the full message history to scroll - how do you do it jman?

With the iPhone/iPad you need to use two fingers to scroll the in-game messages.
Otherwise I suggest using Opera Mobile, just for reading the messages. For some reason the message window is much larger with Opera Mobile.

This site works quite well off my Galaxy S.

I find the site seems to work well on my iphone. It is easy to enter order and see the map. The messaging is not perfect but workable, and as I mentioned using Opera Mobile for the messaging seems to be quite good.
Which browser do you use on the Galaxy, largham?
Bit curious about the Galaxy. How does it compare to the iPhone. Can you get good apps for it? The texting system looks pretty cool.

does anyone see any disturbing parallels between iphones and dystopian novels

I always play from my iPad as well, and like I said before other than the fact that scrolling up is a pain it works fantastically.

@BornAgain, you touch one finger on the messages, and then use another two to scroll. If you don't put one finger down first in the message area than it will just scroll the entire page like normal.

Also I heard about "facebook places"

Yeah the whole twitter and facebook "places" feature is majorly creepy, so I don't have it enabled. haha I don't see anything bad though with smart phones in general.

Using Android, I can't remember which version though. It's a lot like the iPhone, but I haven't used the latter much so I can't be sure; at least the layout is quite similar. As for swype, the texting thing, I hate it. I prefer to use the qwerty board. I find it quite complicated, maybe I'm just conservative when it comes to using technology. However, my mum seems to like it. You should be able to get many apps for it, most apps now are made for both Android and Apple.

I do have to agree Sic, Apple is quite controlling with their software as compared to other companies.

no not the iphone
like the whole idea of a device that does what an iphone does.
or a blackberry or an ipad or whatever

I'm saying it doesnt matter if apple is controlling as a company, the issue is the actual function and use of an iphone. especially when it has facebook (which is EXTREMELY creepy)
especially facebook loctions.

I mean....

come on.
Are we all just insane?
Am I?
Doesnt anybody else see anything wrong with this?
what happened to human interaction!?

"what happened to human interaction!?"

A bit ironic to say on an online game forum.... :)

thats exactly my point!

it's all crazy! insanity!
we're all still here!

You do realize that these technologies allow anyone to contact anyone in the *world* at any time. That's something we couldn't do less than 20 years ago. And, it's not all shallow relationship status updates, either. Think of the protests in Iran. Most of our info on that came from twitter feeds.

imho Mobile version of webdiplomacy is a must. i mean not applications, just a wap page for lower data transfer rates.

i am living in a (almost) 3rd world country and paying ~5$ for 100 MB 2G/3G (usually 2g) mobile internet.

@Thiras, you living in England?

:)

I apologize....couldn't restrain myself

In regards to the OP.

I really don't think it's necessary. As people have pointed out, the website works fine (with some minor exceptions) on a mobile browser. What I don't think people realize is that by asking for a mobile app, they're actually asking Kestas to maintain two large projects instead of one.

With regards to the topic of mobile development... If you want tit that bad, volunteer to do the development. This is a private site with a very small set of developer donating their time. Wish lists are all fine and good so long as they remain wish lists and not demands lists.

Oh fuck. That was a serious Freudian slip in there.

Well shit, I'll start developing right now if it will get me tits. Now I know what Steve ballmer was going on about

My aim, which Ive talked about elsewhere, is to develop an API for letting programs easily interface with the site and then letting others handle the development of apps.

I don't own a smartphone and even if I did it's an unfamiliar platform that others could probably do better, and making it possible for others to make use of our code fits in best with the open source approach which has served us well here, but the division of responsibilities I think will make the open model we use work much better for letting those who want to try things try them

Besides developing an app for one platform gets you tit, and since we have android and iphone users and they're best in pairs I think everyone will benefit if we take the dual-platform approach

@Sicarius "does anyone see any disturbing parallels between iphones and dystopian novels"
No. What I do see is an incredibly useful tool. Thus far it has not affected my life adversely in any way I can think of.

Yeah, a pair of tits is better than one tit. But we need to include the Blackberry platform and get the triple tits from Total Recall. :-)
