Will it work for the Itouch/phone?

Not sure how this will work, given there's no keyboard on the iPad...

Doesn't the iPad have a touch keyboard on the lower third or so of the screen?

I still say Biskup would make more $$$ by simply adding some
banners to this forum. Nobody is in love with banners, but I
for one would definitely not stop visiting just because of a
few ads. At least it would pay site bandwidth, maybe.

EDIT: Just a good natured jab:

Noob.

I have an ad-blocker on anyway... I personally don't like the idea of it though, and I'm not sure how much income he'd really get. None of us would ever click on the links.

To be honest I'm not excited with idea of iAdom, I'm not going to get any iPhone or iPad in any predictable future. However new adom version, bug fixes and new features(though probably I won't live long enough for that one) sounds really cool.

Still I'd rather like to see some JADE related updates, but oh well, you can't have everything I guess...

Of course none of us would ever click on the links. Pfft.

I don't think all ads work that way though, some are based
on site traffic alone. At least I think so. Considering the kind
of visitors we have here, TB could prolly feel comfortable
allowing the much maligned pop-up ads that pay a higher
rate. We would all just have them blocked, so no one would
be annoyed. If a newby complained, I'm sure we could/would
enlighten them quickly enough.

If TB can't make money off of ADOM though, there is little
justification to spend additional time on it.

Hate to say it, but iADOM doesn't seem exciting to me either.
Iphones, Ipad, Ipods, may as well be telling me we're getting
ADOM for XBox. Furthermore, I don't think there are enough
ADOM players in the world to make this worthwhile, even if
half of us bought Ipads and DL'd copies of ADOM from I-tunes.
The revenues would depend almost entirely upon folks who
already own I-nonsense, and somehow I don't see ADOM
being competitive with those proggies that have such nice
flashy graphics.

My 2 cents, fix the major bugs, (maybe include an auto-explore
feature), include new info in the documentation (advertising
these forums), and sell ads here. Graphics would also help, of
course, but I think ADOM tiles would be too small to be useful.
