Which Eden mobile app I would want the most?
I like how the site works from my phone for the most part. I can go to my public profile and see the first page of activity, but not my wall and I can't click to the part with my reviews or my other info. I can see the same thing if I click on somebody else's name. I like being able to comment on reviews from my phone, but I can only see the first page of reviews and can't vote when I do click on them. I can get into the first page of forum threads as well, but can't change pages internally without clicking "go to last post" and even that doesn't work properly half the time.
It'd be awesome if I had a way to be able to flip to the next page, anywhere on the site, from my phone.

Product-wise, I'd like to be able to view items and add them to wishlists/compare for future reference at least. Promotion and sale alerts would be nice, too. Seeing videos and reviews would be nice, too, but in a light app I could do with just seeing how many reviews, maybe their star-ratings and pros/cons.
I'd definitely want the forum. That's what I keep most track of during the day...

I have surfed EF on my android phone a bit, and shopping already worked relatively well. In order to read and comment on reviews and look at the forums, I had to use the 'web version,' and while review reading wasn't too bad, the forums were teeny-tiny and almost unnavigable.
I would hope we don't get a review-writing mobile app, though. Things written on smartphones almost always have more typos than things written on full keyboards, and I think most people who access Eden have full keyboard access sometimes. Better to avoid the frustration of extra work for the editors. And also, if a screen glitches, you wouldn't want a whole review to be lost!

I can access all features on my phone. However, the one issue is with text boxes such as when editing a review. Because the text box is a defined size, it does not "wrap around" on my smaller phone screen. As a result, I have to either shrink the image size or scroll back and forth to see everything. I hope that makes sense.

The things I do with my android phone are view/respond to messages, submit assignment orders and sometimes checking comments on reviews.
The most frustrating part of doing this with a phone is that for some reason when I order anything, I'm forced to enter my entire address again. It refuses to show me previous addresses I've used before.

I guess that would be cool.
However, my personal situation is that I don't have an iPhone nor a Droid. I tend to use my phone for *gasp* phone calls. I have a basic phone that doesn't accept "aps." Except for those it came with, and a few games that can be ordered. I have poor vision and don't see well enough to play games or watch movies (?) on the itty bitty tiny screen on my phone. I can barely see the numbers on my phone and texting is a real drag, as it's hard for me to see the letters. Same with pictures.
But, if it works for people who can afford a really expensive phone, I'm all for it.

I'd mainly focus on shopping and adding things to my wishlist. I don't particularly like reading masses of text (like reviews) or writing walls (like forum posts) from my phone; I do those on my computer. Kinda like how the amazon app is streamlined to the basic info, pics, and star rating with the option for more info if needed (I love that app!).
