For whatever it's worth, the first two look pretty good on a Kindle, too. Not so much the third one; Google Docs won't even let the Kindle's web browser view private documents.|

Although, if they are getting mids to work on Macs, maybe they can port it to an iApp.

I love my iPhone. So far, there are only two things about it I don't like: AT&T sucks ***, and bluetooth support is really bad. But other than those two things, it's pure awesome. I have a couple dozen apps, and I love having access to everything pretty much everywhere.
I'm actually working on a couple of iPhone app ideas. (I also have a MacBook Pro and have been learning Objective C and the Xcode IDE.)
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
Playing around with my new iPhone 3GS, I ended up adding three bookmarks to the Home screen specifically for when I'm playing City of Heroes:
- Dev Digest: http://cohdigest.appspot.com/?t=1
- COH TFs: http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddb97fvv_20fpc8r9gn
- CoH Chars: (custom)
I didn't save a link to this forum, to Vidiot Maps, or to Paragon Wiki on my home screen, but that's only because I use Xmarks on my PC to keep Firefox's, Internet Explorer's, and (via iSync) Mobile Safari's bookmarks in sync with each other. If you don't, those are probably worth adding to your iPhone's home screen, too..
Needs no explanation, and it looks great in Mobile Safari. I glance at it off and on throughout the day.
.
.
I made this one myself, combing through and condensing down all task forces, strike forces, and trials in City of Heroes and City of Villains. Table of contents links at the beginning make it easy to zoom to the TF or SF or Trial that you want to run.
.
What was driving me nuts was the lack of any way to run something like Mids Hero Designer on my iPhone ... although I will say that CoHPlanner.com's online character builder works fine in Mobile Safari, it's just clumsy by comparison to full-fledged Mids.
What I came up with was to do Short Forum Exports from Mids (in a custom color scheme of my own, more suitable to white background text) and save each one to a Google Doc, one character per document. I named each document the name, powersets, and archetype of the character, as in "Infamous Brad: Robotics/Force Field Mastermind" so I'd recognize them easily, and then I moved them all to a folder called "CoH Characters." Then I went into Google Docs on the iPhone, navigated to that folder, and saved a bookmark to that folder to the home screen.
I hope this helps somebody; I know it made the game even more enjoyable for me.
