Well that's because we didn't design it and get very annoyed at vBulletin for it.

Ps. Tapatalk is better.

doubt anyone would actually use it, and surely it'd be logical to make android instead of iphone app

So, its not logical to make an iPhone app, but it is for Android?

No it would be logical to make both an iphone and android, but if limited to one it would be android.

As mentioned before iPhone app = $100 a year, Android = $25 one off

and last I checked android has something like 4x the global market share of iOS

So if limiting the decision to one, fairly sure logic would dictate you go for the one that costs 1/4 and has 4x market share?

Fair enough, I was thinking you meant the app wasn't logical but make it for Android anyway kind of thing.

And you always have Cydia for iOS.

As Matt has said, the most logical route would be a web app. That way it would load correctly in bother Apple and Android products etc and wouldn't cost any developers accounts fees.

Only problem with that is the radio, with a web app for iOS and Android, you would need to find a web player that works for both, or have them download the stream...hmm.

Why a separate web app? Responsive web design along with progressive enhancement is the way forward in my opinion. This way you can get consistent experiences across all platforms with features that scale with the device rather than having to deal with separately created websites/web apps for different platforms that might be missing some key functionality or content.

Having the main Habbox site scaleable wouldn't really work in terms of things such as the rare values.
@Jackabee; Getting the radio on to iPhone/Android is easy.
