Any thoughts on a forum interface optimised for the iPhone / iPod Touch? I know of a fair few PHers who regularly check the forums on their iPhones, myself included. It's not a bad experience, but an iPhone version wouldn't be hard to build.

The only slight grumble I have is when threads become excessively wide, usually due to photo sizes I think (or long strings of text not wrapping)?

This makes it hard to read on the iPhone, but is also annoying on a PC anyway.

I seem to have the hang of navigating where links are close together now. There could be some features that are difficult to use that I don't make use of myself though.

PH is very easy to use on my iPod touch and surprisingly well-handled by Opera Mini on my phone - although the point about wide posts is a good one.

The only thing that I'd really want to change for mobile use is the page length. I have my page length set to 80 posts, and on a flicky touchy interface, that equals achey breaky fingers.
