I don't own any of those, so it doesn't really matter to me. LOL  What exactly would the app be for, though?

I would just like to be able to post on here on my Sony Ericsson Satio.  I tried the other day and it didn't really work too well.

I took me a while to figure out how it works...you start typing, and then you click on one of the sugestions in the drop-down menu...but it won't scroll. If I type 'dr' it will show alphabetized artists starting with 'dr' (Dr. Mastermind to Dragonauta), but showing only first 10. I can't scroll down to Dream Theater (with arrow keys or mouse). Not that it's necessary, since I can easily type 'dre', just observing.Smile
Percussion, sir!

Hey M@x, AVSForum just released an iPhone app. Now, this is not about that forum itself (you may even ignore wht it is... Is for tv geeks like me who sell those things for a living) but about the fact that a forum CAN be made into an app!

A perfect world would be a Blackberry app where I could look up artists, read the forums and even upload reviews from a Word or text file when I'm traveling. Tongue

M@X:  one word, Tapatalk.  It's what I use on my moto droid to browse various fora.  It would be suh-weet if PA supported it.
