Having been using the mobile site recently (which is excellent!), I don't see any advantages to having an app, whose only purpose, that I can see, would be to re-package the existing mobile functionality.
Given the development time needed to do that, I think it would be a much better use of you resource to develop some of the other features that have been requested.
Pending any specific requests from anyone who feels the mobile site is lacking, I would definitely put this one way on the back burner

The suggestion of developing a native mobile app for the site is already showing signs of being a popular request on our new Feature Requests list. Developing an app (or in practice several apps would be needed for different types of device) is a big investment, so it would be very important for us to understand exactly what features and benefits people are looking for in such an app. In particular, as we already have a mobile version of the site, I'd like to understand a bit more about what you feel a mobile app could provide that the mobile site can't, so that we can be clear about the objectives if we were to develop an app. It may be that some needs can be met through enhancements to the current mobile site.
Thanks in advance for your input.
John
