I just don't see what a native app really gains you over a properly-designed web interface, except maybe offline viewing.

Dave,
I am not sure if you are talking about only the forums or the whole site, but I really like the TUAW app, categories up top, related articles below. I don't even read the article via twitter app, i just open the TUAW app. Thats my 2 cents about native app.

I guess I am only talking about the forums, as they're the only thing with an iPhone interface at this point. But if that interface was tweaked and included the rest of the site, I'm not sure how a native app would improve upon that.

I think the interface for the forums gets the job done for me, fast, too. It's super easy to navigate around the forums. My only gripe about it is to get to, then view, the subscribed threads can be a little difficult.

That's the easiest thing to do... just hit "My Settings" or "User CP" (depending on your template) at the top and the page you'll get is your subscribed threads in order from newest post.
