That was a rule made for edgy children by edgy children.

Having an app designed for it would be much easier to use than thed browser. Just as reddit has an app and other sites have apps designed by fans for easier browsing.

And just like we ended up with 22 million iPhone apps? ;)

Is that bad? That's like complaining there's too many websites on the internet. Why create a messaging system on youtube when people can email? Why create google talk when I have a phone? Why use Linux when Windows fits all my needs.

My point is that one size does NOT fit all, and we should stop pretending like it does, web browsers are great for getting your feet wet, but it's a lot easier to get even richer experiences with native applications. By that logic, there's no point in applications period, and we should all use some variant of ChromeOS that only has a web browser, because it could be argued that "Everything you need to do can be done from a web browser." Sure, and for some people that's fine, but native experiences are undoubtedly richer.

I can see the advantage of a specialized app for this, it can be faster (no javascript support etc.) and a ´download all picture from this thread´ button. ?-chan can be a good source of wallpapers. :)

4chan works fine as-is in portrait if you want a "mobile" version of it.

We don't have the gift of Greasemonkey on the N900 though, so you can't use fancy scripts like Appchan/4chan X to make it a bit more usable for smaller screens.
