I don't presume to be an expert but heres some feedback.......... toucharcade mobile web app like appleinsider's iphone web app for instance -and how about some MP4/quicktime streaming? -can you admod or throw up an advert within a quicktime/MP4 stream? bottom toolbar/tabs could be? (from left to right) -Home -Podcast -Forum? -next page forum thoughts........................................ -could be done same way as blog posts right? -like the index in a list same way as a blog post -then all the threads will be listed with poster & views if possible in the list -and the thread is essentially presented similar to how blog posts are presented in the appleinsider -and of course having the option of replying/commenting in the web app too native iphone app would be sweet...... podcast thoughts.......................... -need intro video -edit in video clips and slides relevant to the conversation -include music & sound effects -fade in audio from videos; where you can play around by emphasizing a point with random dialog from some of the cheesy in game trailers or in game cut scenes or by using sound effects -get creative -have an ending video that can show a few comments from users -make sure to include some audience participation; like polls & answering user questions....stuff like that
why a native iDevice app? -more advert revenue courtesy of admob -push alerts DING -you can opt into getting push alerts for replies to your comments -fav threads, and/or user and get an alerts when a new comment is posted -badges only; no pop ups no sounds or vibrateness would it be worth it then D
