It would be especially AWESOME if there was a tablet (and phone) optimized forum experience. At the moment the mobile forum experience has ant-sized text.
Very glad to hear it! Kevin floated this on one of the posts today and there has been some confusion in the comments. Bigger buttons and a login that remembers! Please.
what would an app provide that the website doesn't already?
swipe down menu is customizable in an app, but not in a webpage. You could swipe down from the top bezel to go to forums, news, store, etc. Also, with an app it could be set so that you are only loading the content, not the entire web page, thus lowering your data consumption for if you're tethering with a small data plan.
Then after Kevin approves it, RIM has to approve it, probably gonna take a couple weeks folks from this point! Have faith and have paitence, it's in the works, it's coming!!!!!
