Did some messing around with the MIT App Developer tool and came up with a very basic app. In fact, all it does is load the site with the mobile theme, but it seems to work ok, in my limited use. The only caveat (aside from the obvious, use at your own risk, I'm not responsible if your phone melts, your pants catch on fire, or you go over your data plan cap...) is that you can't use the Android back soft button, you have to use the in app navigation. The pro is that you have an application icon to launch instead of a bookmark. No Apple app as yet, I don't have one, so I'm not too motivated...

Anyway, feel free to try it out and let me know in the forum how it works. You will have to go into Settings -> Applications and select Unknown Sources - Allow installation of non-Market applications, and then download the APK. I don't think you have to root your phone, but it may depend on your carrier if that option is available or not. Also, it probably requires Android 2 or better, I'm running Android 2.3.5 and it works fine.

Edit two: Again slightly updated version, nicer background, and it's in the Android Store now. Uninstall the version I posted here first, if you want the store version, and to get update notifications. Not that I expect to update it much anymore...

Edit: slightly updated version, full screen mode and better application name, uninstall and re-download to try it out. Should be in the Play Store soon.

After a lot of work, I think I have finished off all of the known issues:

- edit not working
- garage missing
- theme tweaks
- service manual and gallery links
- donation links

I still need to purchase and install the latest integrated gallery module, after that, it should just be a matter of minor tweaks here and there. If there are any problems that aren't listed as fixed above, please let me know in the forum upgrade thread.

Thanks for your continued patience!

I will be upgrading the forum software tonight around 9PM EST, so there will be some forum downtime when it happens. Once it is back up, expect some things to stop working, I'll try and fix them ASAP.

Thanks for your patience!
