chat on android (in General)

Is there any way to get chat to work on my Android phone? HTC evo Android 2.2

Android does not have a full Java VM, and therefore does not currently support java applets in the browser.

Many java applets use Swing or AWT for the UI. The Android Java implementation needs to add support for those.

Ah I see. Thank you for the swift reply.

I used RDP software to remote into my home machines for a while...

I might look into that. thank you

The mobile network is fast enough to handle RDP?

You don't listen at all do you... I've been trying to explain to you how awesome a smart phone can be for years now.

It's not only fast enough, it works great tunneled over SSH

speaking of that, does anyone know enough about android programming to say how difficult it would be to make an android (or apple for that matter) app that only allows fighting of your favorites list and answering of bot checks?

In my limited understanding, making an app that opens the browser full screen with CB's full interface is easy, customizing CB to be more touch friendly with CSS is a little more difficult, and adding a flash or html 5 based chat client is even possible longer term.
