Can't say I would find it useful. Then again I avoid smart phones like the plague.

Yes, I'd find it very useful.
As an Android owner I do maybe 90% of my forum use on the go, and I already use the app with a few other forums. The interface is a lot better and faster compared to what a web browser delivers. The whole thing would also be entirely free to Neal, minus of course the work it takes to install and configure the plugin. |

pfffffttttt. who needs an oer the top do t all cell phone anyway. the motto for tech is "how can we be more lazy and do less work". that motto needs to change. its how people get fat and boring. eventually no one is gonna have to get up ever again. who the hell needs all the features they put into phones anyway? wanna surf the internet? go get a laptop. the only thing a phone should do is let you communicate basically with people. like talking and maybe even texting. granted making things easier sometimes isnt bad, but technology is turning into like that movie Wall-e. sometimes doing it yourself is rewarding challenging and fun.

I see no reason in carrying a laptop for simple internet use. The less devices the better. Instead of carrying a camera, a laptop, an mp3-player, a gps and a phone I carry just one 120 gram "phone" that does it all and then some. Not a bad tradeoff at all.

Besideswith the prices AND convenience, its not all a good thing. Too much convenience is a bad thing. causes people to get lazy and SO boring. Also causes dependency. If the sun sent an EMP burst, itd be the god dam apocalypse. People wouldnt be able to instantly reach their friend to have an unimportant conversation (if it can be called that, even) then Theyd go and shoot themselves. if they couldnt update their facebook status theyd riot in the dam streets. Thats because technology is TOO convenient. Technology much be done in moderation. who the hell needs a 150$ phone if they dont even use half the features. just buy another phone and save some money. convenience in moderation is golden. People need to learn how to do things WITH and WITHOUT technology. but the WITHOUT part is being slowly whittled away from existence. and what happens when electronics stop working? the world will be back to the stone ages. Its like Jenga. You need to build a structure that can stand AND have blocks taken out. If your tower falls completely after a single block is taken out, then your tower is weak and terrible. if your tower can stand with blocks taken out, youve got a structure worthy enough. if technology fails and you dont know how to work without it, your screwed. and thats why technology like computers and phones and whatever shouldnt be everything. Of course its good its there and it helps, but you cant go overboard. I cant believe no one gets this but me. And IM the young one. Ahahahaha thats irony right there.
