M3post application for blackberries?

gr8000 · 08-20-2009, 03:39 PM

Is there one? Something similar to the facebook application for instance.

That can come in handy in various instances, especially when on vacation & out of computer reach.

Opera mini works well with m3post.

I would develop one but not for free as I'd have to pay my mobile software programmer... and nobody on here will pay for that. So, maybe someone who can code will devote their time - but honestly, it is a 100+ hour project to make it function like the facebook program. You'll most likely have to pay for someone's time.... plus, this forum would have to come up with API's to access the database. Now that I think about it actually it's way too complicated to be feasible.

I just login from my blackberry VIA website... if you use the addy:
m3post.com/forums

You'll be able to access everything as you would from your computer. I think maybe just a few buttons don't work

yeah, but its not as fast and efficient as with a simplified purpose built application. I was thinking of something similar to the facebook app where IMO there is a good balance between (basic) functionality and efficiency/speed. Otherwise it takes ages, takes a lot of time to scroll through all icons to get to the right one, everything is very small etc etc.

But I see the point that building an app is not as simple, easy and cheap as one may think.... Would be cool to develop & have one for M3post, and probably it will be the first of its kind (well deserved for M3 post!!!) but I guess the real qn is who's gonna pay for it.

I know that some forums have a "m." mobile site that is simplified just for wap usage. Not sure if the program for the forum is setup for that and just needs enabling?

I think the functionality is there. Caymanclub.net is on vbulletin and they have a mobile site.

There used to a be a good format for iPhone users that was switched off b/c people voted for more functionality. Maybe the same version would work for BB? Really wish they would go back to that format.
