Write free companion applications to ForPune for the iPhone and Android platforms. While the site itself can be viewed on these devices via the browser, targeted applications would be more usable. These apps can be front-ends on those devices for forpune.com.

Interesting idea, but I would like to know the penetration of these devices in Pune and the number of people interested in its use with forPune first. Do you have any statistics at least for the former?

I dont have statistics yet. People who would use an online info source such as forpune, are very likely find it quite useful to have such applications (especially if they are free) when they are away from the desktop. The most popular platform can be identified for the software, it could even be Symbian. Just that iPhone is cool and Android is upcoming and could be a game changer. Plus this can start out as community and volunteer work.

I've added a reference in the List of StackExchange sites question at Meta Stackexchange.
Could be useful for people looking for Pune related stackexchange site -- I am thinking tourists and business travelers.

For Admin at forPune, there are some interesting StackExchange tool references too.
