Anyone out there using an iPhone to play on RHP? If so, how's the experience?
I'm considering plunking down for one and one of the pluses would be being able to work through my considerable gameload while commuting. Love to get some feedback from people who are actually doing so.
I can testify that RHP works fine on the iPhone. I am using one right now.
There are a couple of things that don't work though. Navigating the moves ima game doesn't work. Otherwise, it just takes some getting used to zooming in and out.
If you want to check for yourself then I suggest you take an hour or so at the apple store to check out some things. I went and they had a bunch that had active sim cards that you could use the net and call people too.
This phone kicks arse!

I will check out the Apple store. Didn't know they had them provisioned for testing like that.
Nice avatar btw!

I know Russ is looking for feedback on this feature, give it a go. 🙂
Originally posted by robscullionThe analyze game feature will work, the control that lets you go back in moves that have already been played doesn't work so well. You can try a move out and use the next and previous position links though without any problem.

I tried the mobile.redhotpawn.com site and there didn't even appear to have any analyze game option. You shouldn't really need the mobile version since the iPhone's web browser renders complete sites fine.
