    Rock Band World: The [iOS/Android] app?

    Out of curiosity, have you considered the viability of taking the FB interface and integrating it into a portable app? Some of us may be insane enough to want to do this sort of thing on the go--check out current score wars and statuses, add songs to the shopping cart, etc. Lots of apps have Facebook integration in-built (I don't know if I've seen any where it's outright REQUIRED), and can be opened from the Facebook app (e.g. Spotify, Cooliris, etc.).

    It's a thought more than anything else, and no doubt has crossed meeting tables from time to time, but I figure I'd bring it up here to see what kind of forum support there might be in such an endeavor.

    I would love something like this!

    I'm really hoping they're just waiting to see how people react to Blitz/World first before taking it to that level too. It would come especially in handy for those who don't have a computer physically close to their console to check on goals during gameplay.

    Pretty much exactly this. We've talked about it, but it's a pretty big undertaking. No plans.

    I would love an iPad app to go along with the Facebook one.

    It tries to redirect to a non-existent mobile version of the application on the iPhone. Maybe on an iPad.

    What if I look at you with puppy dog eyes? Would that help anything? I've got the puppy dog right here

    Don't know if it will make any difference but I use a browser called Dolphin that I picked up off the android app store (Don't know if iThings will let you use alternate browsers)

    It works on Chrome, but the real estate is still limited.

    Thanks for the update!

    I guess it's probably better for my social life having it as it is now anyway :-p

    Okay, so an undertaking of an iOS/Android app is out of the question. What about fixing the damn app within Facebook so that it fits properly within the frames? Or making the goals accessible via the game? Running back and forth between computer and xbox (not in same room) is a HUGE waste of time and a royal pain in the (fill in the blank)
