How about making an iPhone app that syncs with the web app (or an iphone/mobile optimised website)?
How about making an iPhone SpicyElephant app that syncs with the web app?
With your flair for user interface design, SpicyElephant belongs on the iPhone. I'd make it a paid app too so it makes SpicyElephant more self-sustaining.
At this stage, I'd say your main rival would be "iflipr" which has a great UI but, alas, isn't based on the SM2 algorithm.
If you're worried about coding in Cocoa, maybe start with a mobile (iPhone) optimised website. That way, you'd increase traffic to your site and, presumably, the number of conversions to the Premium service.
At the moment, while SpicyElephant is usable on the iphone (via Safari), it's really slow and hard to read as the font's really small.
Mobile phones are ideal for spaced-repetition learning applications. They're always with you, are small enough to use most places surreptitiously, have built in alert systems (SMS, alarms, email) for learning schedule reminders, and are becoming ubiquitous.
Basically, I'm wanting you to rejig SpicyElephant so it makes studying in bed all that easier!
Anyway, I hope you give some thought to porting SpicyElephant to the iPhone.
Cheers,
Dougal

Inappropriate?A mobile optimized version is a high priority. I'm almost a little embarrassed that we don't support this yet. It really is mandatory for webapps today.

Inappropriate?Hello, I am curious is the IPhone app something in the works and if so what is the eta? If not please advise.
Thank you much. -
Inappropriate?I have found using the gflash pro app is quite useful, you can synch with google docs - thisis what I'll use for now until spicy comes out with an app.

Inappropriate?Doing spaced-repetition from my phone was a big priority so, after waiting for a few months, I decided to give spicy elephant the flick and migrated across to www.surusu.com Extremely simple interface and has Japanese comics motivating you along the way but it's very, very quick and robust. Check it out.
