Apple wouldnt need to approve of anything, i wouldnt think. The forum just needs to have an alternative version thats less full of crap like the background picture etc. Browsing is sometimes painfully slow now. Its really noticeable.

As to Apple approving this for the iPhone, as was mentioned it wouldn't be necessary if were just an alternate presentation of the web site.
There are, however, already several iPhone apps that are site and/or company specific. It would be pretty easy to get an app for the forum approved. Getting it built, on the other hand, might be a major undertaking. So far most social networking apps aren't BBS/forum styles, at least not that I've seen. It really wouldn't have to be a full forum access, though. Who knows.

I was just joking about Apple approving optimizing the forum. They wouldn't have anything to do with that. I was poking fun at Apple at times rejecting apps for strange reasons(assuming they have one at all.
Huh, i guess apple does not say that all forum apps cannot be approved. Just the flood...
Any way i endorse this idea.
