Alright, for those of you with Android phones, I wrote an app for you guys to post on the shoutbox more easily. Get it here (v 0.5.5).

Things that I'll add in the future:
- Having the app run in the background like a real IM app
- Better notification support

This I should add, but probably won't until someone needs it:
- Admin support (if an admin helps out)

Comments and bug reports are welcome.

Change Log:
0.5.5
- Added popup for links so you can see what link you're clicking.
- Changed colour scheme so it's orangey.
0.5.4
- (hopefully) Fixed crash when the hardware keyboard is extended
0.5.3
- Fixed crash on vibrate
0.5.2
- Fixed a bug where the history would continue to load in the background when cancelled, hogging up a shitload of bandwidth.
- Fixed a bug where the updating would get messed up by weird thread behaviour.   
0.5.1
- Fixed bug where app would not stop updating in the background
- Added sound and LED notifications
0.5
- Major re-code of application
- Shouts are loaded as soon as they are read instead of waiting until all shouts are loaded
- UI is more responsive
- Much better handling of updates
- Much lower memory usage due to no more use of a hacked webpage
- Fast scrolling through history
- Settings fit with the rest of the UI
- Lots of other UI stuff I forgot
0.4
- Added history list
- Added pseudo shoutbox styling
- Added vibration alert on new shouts
0.3
- Added user list
- Removed horizontal rules
- Right justified info text
- Add handling for enter on the keyboard
- Fixed bug where app would reload when you rotate the screen
0.2
- Added colour coding for online and offline
- Added option to not delete old shouts
0.1
- Initial Release

If you have windows mobile, just click the "Popup chat" link above the SB then bookmark that page.  Works for me.

Android's built-in browser has a tough time differentiating between which frame you want to scroll in. Thus, I wrote a separate app for fun. A few advantages - more screen space, better control over internet usage, and soon enough, I'll add in things like LED/vibrate/sound notifications.

You could still post with the normal shoutbox (http://www2.shoutmix.com/?bigcarlito), but it's just easier with the app.

iPhone/iPod owners:
This page is a better format than the others [it shows more messages before having to scroll within the frame], however it has trouble remembering your name if you don't post from the actual shoutbox or the shoutmix page kwogger linked [your name will be remembered afterward till your cookies are cleared]

Very nice, Kwogger!
