Justin.

What are the chances of this place getting a mobile site? tapatalk doesn't always do it for me and my web browser opens the site like a normal site and takes forever to load.

With the way my schedule looks for the next month it won't be an option until after the new year at the earliest.

I see, I see.

So when I'm on Fab4's phone and go to the browser and read the OC; it's a very, very plain looking site. She has an older BB Curve, so I'm not sure if it's just the browser or what, but I would definitely prefer what she gets rather than a mini version of the actual site like I get.

Tapatalk is hit or miss on my blackberry. Every so often I keep having to hit submit because it won't accept my post. It also will crash from time to time. Not a big deal and it is manageable. But a mobile site would be cool

I don't get that, it is damn sweet on android. I wonder why the support isn't as good on bb?

Annoys the HELL out of me. I assume it's only because it's a Beta version though. What BB do you have? Do you get a mini version of the site when you go to it on your browser too?

Tapatalk was good on iOS. It is incredible on Android. I'm surprised it is so bad on BB.

Tapatalk has given up on developing it for the time being. They are waiting for RIM to make some kind of change that will make developing easier.

Hello folks,

Really no update yet. We are waiting for RIM to improve their tooling and support before we can proceed. We intend to continue to support it given we have already invested so much resource building it.

So far it has no sign of improvement from them.

However it doesn't stop any keen developer to build his own Tapatalk app like the folks did for Windows Phone 7 and WebOS.
From the tapatalk forum for the Blackberry version.

Do you ever use the site in the browser? I'm trying to figure out why I can't view it like Fab4 can on hers.

I switched from BB to Android just to be able to access this site. Tapatalk for BB totally blows, and accessing the OC on the BB browser is very slow

I prefer tapatalk over Safari for browsing, but laptop (safari) for typing ... for obvious reasons.

And yes its just like a mini me version of the site on my laptop. Takes forever to load and doesn't keep me logged in.

That's exactly what I am talking about.

I actually was able to find it the way I want to see it a few weeks ago, but I have no idea why or how I got to it. But I do remember there was nowhere for me to log in.

No it was basically just a stripped down, no graphics, all text version of the site. I don't remember how I got to it though.

I was just going through all the options for the browser to see if I could find what you were talking about.
