Mobile/handheld Escapist

[TerribleAssassin]

I think, that the escapist should have a mobile webpage. I know it sound proposturous (posh words and spelling them eyh?) but im doin this thread from a HTC Tattoo and navigating around is extremely akward.

What y'all think partner?

Edit: No flamings! Just general ideas!

I have no trouble with what they have right now. While I was on camping trips, I could still maintain my GMing of RPs and read the news stories, so I was perfectly satisfied with what they have. A mobile site would be nice, but I don't think it'd be a necessity for me

 

[arsenicCatnip]

Probably.

I read articles and stuff on my Sidekick though. No big.

That would be pretty cool, but I have my doubts it will happen. Would require too many man hours for what would be a very little pay off.

This has been bought up before. Most people really don't want it since most smart phones don't have too much of a problem loading the page. and by smart phone I don't mean iPhone

 

[Sixties Spidey]

That'd be cool. Just give us an Escapist BlackBerry app, and we'll be good.

Or for the sake of convenience, an iPod Touch/iPhone app.

Andriiod as well, what about teh HTC's?

 

[Flack]

I'd like one

Then I wouldn't have to turn on my PC anymore to post on the forums and just use my DS...

You mean the Escapist website, or the 'Scapist community stuff?

 

[Blackadder51]

Yeh it would be awesome, and it whilst there at it they could make the search bar work.

 

[Nivag the Owl]

I would definitely be interested in getting the news-feed in a more practical, hand-held format. But as for the rest of the site, I can't see it being that necessary for me. I don't really have the urge to come to the forums or watch the videos unless I'm sat at my desktop. But yeah, getting the news feed would be awesome.

 

[Raven's Nest]

It'd be nice to be able to watch the video content on my iPhone. I don't use my PC much so I browse the escapist on my phone most of the time. I know there is a player used by... Ahem... More dubious websites that allow for video playback on the iPhones web browser.

Any word from the tech lord (Virgil) about this?

 

[Lord Krunk]

Handheld Escapist news feed and videos? I like, I like!

 

[Doitpow]

oh gods no! then it'd be a time suck even on the move!

Dunno, am I the only one thinking thread forwarding or the Tech Group posting?

 

[Slash Dementia]

I'd download it. I use The Escapist on my iPod Touch sometimes and it would be much easier if I could navigate through it better, and to watch the videos.

 

[Sleekgiant]

A simple SMS notifier would be more ideal, that way you could respond to PMs easily

 

[DarthAchaeron]

It might get the movies to work as well. As much as I like the blue Lego block, watching unskippable would just be so much more satisfying...
