Hello Hacker Newsers, I have made an iOS Universal app for Hacker News. You can download it from: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hackernode/id473882597 (Clickable link in comments) Please do check it out when you get time.I have worked really hard to make it happen. It works on iPod Touch,iPhone and iPad (armv6,armv7). The iPhone interface is designed like the old Facebook for iPhone and the iPad interface is designed like Twitter for iPad. I will really appreciate any critical feedback or a nice review in the app store in case you like it :) Thanks.
