I understand his point, actually. I'll tell you why this app doesn't really phase me.

(1) I need a mobile version of my site. While this app is cool and wish them success, I need to solve that issue. Once it's done, I and my users don't really need this app.

(2) Many might not pay for a generic app that may or may not have all the functions of a vb forum, I don't know. For people who use VB often, if it makes life much easier, then it's a good app to buy. But many might not feel it's worth it so I'm still left developing a mobile/iphone version for my site.

So in conclusion, I'm not going to force or convince (as an affiliate) my users to buy an application for $3 in order to use an iPhone compatible version, especially without getting a piece of that revenue either. I understand the developer's point of view but it's unfortunately the way it is. Apple and it's iTunes store and their grabbing every penny doesn't help with the model either.

Nice app still and good work. Maybe in time, we'll see. Kudos to the developers on great work and a great idea.
