Is there any way to post here with an iPhone?  I often find myself wishing I could, but I haven't been able to using iPhone's Safari.  I have a slightly older version (not 3G).

I've been wanting to do the same with my BlackBerry. If Mises.org had an API, I sure I could make a phone application to do so.

Freaking stealing my idea! I didn't even talk to you and you stole it. ZOMG!

The Community has a comprehensive REST API.  There's a partial API for Mises.org too.

I am posting this reply from my iPod Touch. Here is how to do it: click the HTML button at the top-right of the posting thing. New page opens up, click in it a few times, and eventually the keyboard will pop up. Voilà!

For some reason the text box is doing something goofy so the iPhone or iPod can't recognize it as a text entry field. It must be very non-standard code or something, as all other forums I'm on work no problem (identical to computer, the screen is just smaller).

By the way, everyone is probably already aware but Apple came out with the iPad today. Http://www.apple.com . So there's that much more market for you aspiring app developers. :)

It's just looks looks like a giant iPod touch and the interface doesn't scale as well compared to the Android OS.

Bashing is a healthy market action for bringing awareness to inept monopolies selling limited hipster hardware.  Allowing it helps balance things out, methinks.

I'm not knocking the iPhone. The iPhone does everything that the iPad does and more while fitting in your pocket.

If Apple's intention was to make an e-reader then I think they completely missed the point of an e-reader and should have instead bought out a company developing a color and video version of E-Ink.

Well, if the webmaster is an iPhone developer, that's a hopeful sign that the issue will be fixed eventually. Also, the reply pop-up box constantly likes to hop further down and to the right. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help fix it. In the meantime, my work-around will work.
