People have been asking about a mobile version of EXD for a while and I am going to look into doing that, however it's not something that vBulletin is designed to do (surprisingly enough as vB is great is most other regards).
In the mean time I have registered EXD with Tapatalk. Tapatalk is an iPhone/iPod Touch application that allows users to interact with their favorite forums (vB and phpBB supported) via their iPhone/iPod Touch. It makes browsing, posting, sending PMs, etc very slick and easy. The only real downside is that it is a user interface for the forums only (won't see anything else like the wiki, arcade, COTM section, DIYs, etc). Tapatalk seems to be dedicated to continually updating it and listening to feedback on their own forums.
Some custom modifications to forums will not work as well. For EXD the only problem seems to be the embedded YouTube videos (which you probably wouldn't want in a mobile version of the site anyway).
Small downside? The Tapatalk app is $2.99. However, it can be used with hundreds of forums on the internet, not just EXD. Perhaps other Hyundai forums will sign up with them (it's really easy).
Keep an eye on the ElantraXD Twitter account for tweets and here on the EXD Blog for posts with me giving codes away for it. And by this I mean a code I make up that you can PM me so that I can Paypal you $2.99 so that you can buy the app yourself. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to "gift" apps to people like you can with music via iTunes.
Thoughts?
