Yes, the fact that Tapatalk isn't a free app bugged/bugs me too. Looking at the price they ask for it, it doesn't feel like such an enormous setback, considering it apparently opens up the si-community on smartphones and from what I hear it does so quite well. A friend of mine (who does own a smartphone) also informed me that in the smartphon world paying a small amount of money for apps is quite common...
To me as an administrator there is a hidden benefit to the fact that Tapatalk is a commercial app, although it has yet to be proven to be true (and I hope it will never come to that). If something goes horribly wrong, I know "where they live", so to speak (i.e. whom I could pester for additional support). All kinds of non-commercial solutions might be harder to track down, if and when the s*** hits the fan...
;)
Now might be a good time to finally add rray's screenshots of Tapatalk in action that I technically couldn't add to the announcement post (as it already was way over its word count limit). To state the extremely obvious: these are two screenshots merged together to one image...
