iPhone Application
« on: September 23, 2010, 04:51:22 PM »
NO - I do not want to try to fly planes in the MA using my iPhone or iPad!!!  My thought is for an iPhone/iPad app that would allow me to log in (if I have an account), look at the maps, check country and base status, chat on the text buffer and maybe use the vox.  I find myself travelling a bit and use an ipad instead of a laptop, I just think it would be cool if I could mapwatch and enjoy the social networking aspect of AH through my iPhone/iPad when I can't get to my PC.  Could be a good sales tool for AH for attracting new customers, maybe having a lite version that will allow you to mapwatch, see the text buffer and listen to the vox (no interactive) even if you don't have an account.  A section showing some 3d detail of all of the planes would be nice too. It would also be great if there was access to the hanger to change skins and convergence for use later when you are online, however I don't think that is possible as that data resides on your local PC.

Although, that might be possible in ~ 10 years.

I think the checking of country and base status is a good idea. Kinda like WWII Online, except on a Iphone/Ipod touch App.

I think the details need to be fleshed out but not a bad one really.  The only thing I don't like is letting non members listen to or read the text buffer.  I can't put my finger on why either.

Iphoners always want the cool apps, what about BB users? We are paying customers and we have feelings too.

I don't trust this guy, who are these friends he wants to talk to? Must be a pretty shady group.

Actually for a one off piece of COADing it could be a revenue stream.

$20 per app?
