    I bought an iPhone recently and the website looks tiny and you have to zoom and scroll everywhere. Not complaining but it would be very helpful if we can get a mobile version out that has a steamlined interface especially the BBS. Is it too much to ask for maybe an iPhone app that lets you post directly to the GARM and gives Rockets updates like scores and stats? Plus I'll be attending several games this year, just want to be able to post pics, videos and messages live from the game. I would pay a few $ for the app if its made available.

    Please take this into consideration at the next meeting of the fat cats! :D

    Thanks Clutch for making such an awesome website.

    Perhaps if more folks would donate to the tip jar, things like this could be considered.

    Call me crazy, but I like surfing the forum in it's current format on my iPhone. I'm doing so now. The idea of a ClutchFans app for the iPhone is pretty sweet, though, so I think I'll donate to the tipjar anyway.

    I'm posting from my iPhone now. The only thing I don't like is when I post a reply, kinda like what I'm doing now. The keyboard takes up about 60 percent of the screen.

    I don't see why Clutch should pander to the pretentious Iphone types.

    Clutchfans looks just fine on my iPhone. No need to zoom in on anything, maybe you need your vision checked.

    I don't mind using Opera mini on my Blackberry.....but using the BB browser is painful.

    Full site works great on my Palm Pre.

    But then again, almost every web site does (as long as it isn't Flash based ... but that should be fixed soon).

    Currently developing an iPhone Rockets app. Not necessarily meant for viewing clutch forums but more for general info. Will have schedule and stats. First though I need to learn how to start a thread. Going to be asking rocket's fan what they want from it as I am almost done with the basics.

    I have both a BlackBerry and an iPod Touch. I'm cool with things the way they are right now on both.

    There are a couple of cool things I have done for one of the forums I have made and administer for iphone users.

    First there is a plug in for Vbulletin that will automatically detect if your coming from an iphone or another mobile phone and you can direct it to the proper skin.

    I took an iphone skin that is available for vbulletin and is real nice and made that version for this site. www.mfestoforum.com

    I need to get all the links together and I will post it here Maybe clutch would be interested in it because it's really a good theme.

    You an check this post out that I made with screenshots if you just want to see it.

    http://www.mfestforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=75440#post75440

    Clutch, if you guys want all the details let me know and I will get them to you and would more than willing help out to build this up.

    Also the WinMo phones. Plenty of options in the smartphone/PDA arena.
