Escapist ipod/iphone app

[Knight of Cydonia]

Ok, I'm sorry but this isn't really for any non ipod/iphone users. (sorry) Ok Machinima.com is sort of smaller than the escapist and they have an app for free that lets people watch their videos on the ipod/iphone, I have tried going on the escapist on my iphone browser, and I found out that you could go on forums, but not watch videos. Now considering I was in austria for a week I would of liked to check up on the latest ZP I was started thinking about a "the escapist" app, it would let people check up on the forums better and watch videos.

What are your thoughts on this?

Can't you just use the internet browser
Also you can make certain popular websites apps for free.
i've done this for i-player

Took the words right out of my keyboard.

I dunno about videos, but I'd definitely like a mobile version of the site.
The regular pages take ages to load. :/

Nah, what we need is an Escapist Sub.

 

[Jaranja]

I think so, it could work.

Only if its an Android app as well!

The browser can only play certain types of videos (Quicktime I think, and whatever YouTube videos are).

That would be truly amazing!

I don't think Machinima.com is smaller than the Escapist. Last I checked they had 846,567 subscribers on YouTube.

Even if there was, I wouldn't care (Not an i-Anything user), and if I did throw all of my Bill Gates-hugging standards out the window and buy one, I probably wouldn't use it much. Happens to all phones I buy.

Well hey, if you can make it, go for it. It's certainly a good idea.
plus I get lonely fighting the walruses on the weekdays.

That's Flash player

The iPod Touch/iPhone doesn't have a flash player (sadly), but most Youtube videos are watchable.

But Escapist's videos are in flash, so they have to be watched on the computer.

This has been mooted many times before, and nothing has come of it. I doubt it'll happen.

RAK was banned? Damn..

The Nexus One looks SICK!

But yeah, this could be an app that would make a good chunk of money even if they did make it cost like .99. I know I would buy it for my iPhone. Even if it's free it still would be something amazing.

No. Youtube converts the .flv format to quicktime.
Thats why ipod touches/iphones can play youtube but not most other stuff.

Seconded.

And it would be nice to be able to watch the videos and thumb through the columns without loading all the other junk that comes with a webpage.
