Need testers and feedback

[Greg]

Hey guys,

Some of you know that I have been a support technician for addonChat. We recently released our mobile edition module where you can use our chat with an iPhone or other touch pad phones. I have an inactive mobile phone that uses my router to work on the internet but nothing else.

I know this thread would not be proper to post in support and for sure, probably not in gt so I hope it's allowed here. If an admin deems it inappropriate just lock it and send me a PM. I'll respect that. I'm not trying to sell anything but do need some feedback from those of you who can help.

I've embedded the new applet code from one of my test chats @ kypcdr.co.cc/mobi
1. I'd like to know if it works.
2. Knowing nothing about how to use these types of phones if you have a means of doing a screen cap so I could see how it comes up I'd appreciate it. Hey, I'm a cell phone dummy so I don't know what you can or can't do.
3. Any problems, suggestions and other input is most welcome.

Thanks,
Greg

I have an iPod Touch. Would that work?

I'd like to think so.
Have you tried yet? If not go for it.

Is this free or paid? ( my job )

I'm not sure I understand your question but for the moment, no money is going in anyone's direction.

I can test on PSP, whenever I get around to it. Just wondering, does it use JavaScript or flash? Most mobile devices don't support those (I noticed it doesn't load in my browser, which has both disabled).

I tried it on my iPod Touch, which has Safari. Did you mean to check it via Safari? If so, it didn't work Sorry.

Thanks Charles,
Right now it is a bit limited to iPhone and iPod touch. As mentioned in my original post, I have an inactive phone that my son gave me to use as a GPS. It can connect to the internet via my home network. I tried using Skyfire and IE on it but I don't think that's the way this is supposed to work. I think you're supposed to connect via the internet with your mobile service. I could be wrong. I'm pretty new to this and I have had two other sources able to connect both with iPhones.

Thank you for your efforts iPokemon. Our regular chats do require java but no flash. Even though I'm a support technician for addon, this thing is fresh out of the box and still quite new for me as well. It is only in beta testing right now and will undergo more development to include operation on more touch devices such as the new iPad. This application will work jut like our regular applet with any java enabled PC.

So far, we have a lot of other chat owners doing a one month beta test with this and it seems to be quite favorable with them for the most part.

Yeah, iPod Touch doesn't have flash or java on it.. otherwise I'd play flash games on it.

That's not at all related to what I was asking.

Perhaps you got our replies backwards (our avatars confuse me too sometimes >_<).
Do you mean JavaScript instead of Java? I know for fact that PSP supports [basic] JavaScript functionality.

Hey Charles,

Sorry about my first reply to you. Guess I was more rambling on rather than replying with any specificity to what you said.

Your last reply here though got me to look at the new code for the chat which has also changed from v8.5 to v8.6. In 8.5 we were using applet codes and now we are using javascript. At least I think we are using javascript.

8.5 used:
<applet codebase="http://client1.addonchat.com/current/" code="Client.class" .......etc.

8.6 uses:
<script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/.....etc.


When used with a PC both do however require "java" downloaded and installed from java.com
For a closer look at the code (which I formerly refereed to as the applet code) simply view the page source of the link I posted in my original post. With exception of the client number and room value, this is the same code supplied to all out chat client customers.

Since I first started this thread, I am beginning to learn that the mobile application is not yet as broadly functional as I had hoped. So far the only feedback from other sources is that is is working with iPhones and iPod touch devices. In the near future will be releasing additional mobile edition clients supporting Android, Blackberry, and iPad devices.

If it still requires Java to be installed, I highly doubt you'll find many mobile devices that can support it. Not only is it rare to find JavaScript support on a phone, but Java AND JavaScript would be even rarer.
