3.0 works with all generations of the iPod Touch. To use the Flood App you have to update to 3.0.

Kewl first step.

Here's a list of improvements. (because that's what everyone who has created an app wants, right? :P)

Don't load pics. And if you feel that pictures are necessary, make your own iphone adapted background and don't use the fullscreen made for computer screens.
You can't store avatars (unless you DL them first), so ditch them, altogether.

Make use of the screen. As it looks now I might as well open up safari and surf to the flood. We only need the essentials for a homescreen; Topic name, that's it. (not memes)

Make rid of the upper green bar. We only need one.

Sign in button, as Duardo said.

There seems to be a glitch when you press "<" and ">". I get a message saying I have no internet connection whenever I press those buttons.

Add a stop button.

Sorry if this makes you sad, but honestly, I could use safari to get a less buggy experience.

This is a lot to ask, but maybe you should consider making this app open-source.
There's are a handful of people on this site who are really good at coding and very active in the forums.

Some of them come to this group: http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/insidethemachine/Group/GroupHom e.aspx
So if you want to make it happen, your best shot is to upload the sourcecode there and talk to those people.
