Habbo bets on open platform, iPhone app for growth

I think they should only integrate a few features on the iPhone app, such as looking at the catalogue, interacting with friends over the instant messaging service, things like that as it would obviously be too laggy for things such as trading, browsing rooms and hosting events. Unless of course they did promise what to do a while back which was to remove the lag from the hotel. Anyway, I think again though that they are alienating those who cannot afford phones such as the iPhone, more people would have Blackberries and Androids thus should include them too like they should bring Niko to the previous devices mentioned.

Although intriguing, how would they actually create it? I know myself struggle to play Lost Monkey due to the force closes I receive and I can manage to get on Habbo for approximately one minute before being disconnected, not only that but the graphics on a phone are worse than the actual game to an extent. I can't see it going majorily well and if they require payment to use it then what's the point of having it? If it's going to be laggy you are going to pay for that lag so is there a point?

Do agree that they shouldn't open more hotels after merging some, they should lower prices on things such as credits and I think overall that's why they give seeds, nuts etc with credits these days as not as many buy if not.

This could mean very bad things for my work productivity...

I assume they would just integrate some certain features & not the whole hotel - I bet they put a focus on profiles since the emphasis is on social networking & they could pull some more money from that area.

Quite a nice I idea but I also think that they won't include every single feature that is currently on habbo because it'll lag so much and slow the phone down but they're just include the main features like trading.

I'll give it a try when I get my new phone!

A great application idea, but would be far to laggy as others have said previously.
