Downloaded it while I was waiting for coffee at 6 AM.

I like the look. Very clean, very easy to read, even for aging eyes.

But we’re spoiled by the elegant functionality of the regular site. Not having the ability to use Shift-A and cxcxcxcxcxcx makes mobile commenting very frustrating. It’ll be fine when you’re at the game and want to post “Hey guys, did that look like a strike on TV?” but not for full gamethread participation. Glad to know there’s improvement in the works though.

M-A, M-A-R, M-A-R-K, Ell-is!

Yeah

The product guys are taking all that feedback right now. And they’re going to release an update once they get everything. The commenting will definitely be improved.

Who does your IPhone dev?

I suppose I could just look it up, but asking is faster.

We have an internal team that does it

cxcxcxcxcx?

Losing this team would be a huge failure for this city and an affront to Oakland’s great sports legacy.

It's text-speak for "cocks"

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

Hell, I saw Symbian in the first post. First thought? Sex machine. ^

Athletics Nation

Cool! Now I would like to be able to have it start at Athletics Nation.

Rotoworld?

That’s why I used to switch to the ‘full site version’.

No Android?

Boooo

Believe me

I’m dying for an Android version as well. The beautiful thing is that the dev team will be able to make all kinds of changes on the iPhone and when it launches on Android, it should be really close to being perfect. BTW Android should be out by the end of the year.

the best feature of the SBN format is the automatically updating comments.

The fact that this feature is not included in either the mobile site or the iDevice app is… weird.
