OcUK iPhone app?

[iSam]

Was having a play around with my phone earlier and the idea popped into my head, how hard would it be to create an app for the forums?

I use my phone to surf the forums quite a bit, could be a bit handier to have an app?

I'm a relative noob when it comes to programming, will require Overclocker's permission too I would guess.

So what would it do?

Just make surfing the forums easier. Viewing it in Safari requires a lot of zooming in etc. An app could simplify the whole process. Plus would be cool to do!

I can sort of program, but I have never made a iphone/Ipod touch program and I dont have a mac so i cant make one.

Even Cocoa? That's the programming language for the iPhone.

 

[iSam]

I have only ever programmed in C and VB

I think it is similar, so there shouldn't be a problem. Need one of the Mac geeks in here really.

If someone could teach me cocoa then I'll do it lol.

Same.

Was hoping someone on here had made an app before so would have experience of what we need to do.

Right I'm downloading the iPhone developer software now. I'm always up for a challenge!

I downloaded it a while ago, but got rid of it 'cos I wasn't using it.

The iPhone simulator was a good idea, so you could run the app as it would appear on the phone.

There's a mod for vBulletin to enable a proper mobile forums version. We wont be using it however.

Why not?
