Does anybody know if you can get an IRC client for the SPV yet :?:

Well, I've been keeping quiet as I didn't want to raise any false hopes but I'm currently experimenting with knocking together a simple irc client for smartphone.

Currently I haven't got anything working, but I'll post here as soon as I do

One plus point is that the irc protocol is incredibly simple, so once I've got the networking stuff working, it should be very easy to get a basic client going.

Don't worry - the moment I get code working that lets me connect properly to an irc server I'll make an exe available :)

From what I understand, it's only ICQ/MSN/AIM/Yahoo in the SP version

I haven't actually tried it though, so I might be wrong

Anybody have a copy of this ????? E-mail me ([email protected])

I have Jabber CE, im also beta testing the new version of it for them.

Im not that impressed by it.

If you try hold down a few conversations it seems to drop some messages occasionally.

Im disapointed it was released like this for $19.95

Also from what i can see it doesnt support any standard irc server but does have various forms of chat rooms, its completely dependent on you connecting to a Jabber server that supports that feature, not so much the client. Awful UI too. And it has just one sound effect which is the system warning bell, thats for everything. But other than all that its great! :)

Ok, just to wet your appetites

It's very rough round the edges currently (i.e. virtually everything is hard coded) and it only works in the emulator, so no release yet, but once I've got something that works from the phone (and lets you acutally configure the server, your nick, and what channels to join) then I'll post it here :)

Hows it coming ?

Cant wait !

It's progressed a bit - it now properly interprets more things from the server (so people leaving and joining the channels are displayed properly, for example)

Still not working over gprs though :)

Not Related to the above discussion... But, Can't we have an online chat session in the Modaco forum itself.... :idea:

Maybe we can have this 1 day in a week or so, and the chat transcripts can be archieved for reference !! :) :shock:

Right - here's the current status

I've worked out why it wasn't working over GPRS - I haven't got an ident server running on the phone

(When it's running on the emulator, or on my phone using the PC's connection then the irc server's ident responses have just been caught by the server built into mIRC)

Sadly documentation on the irc protocol seems to be a lot easier to find than documentation on what I need to implement in an ident server to make irc work :?

Though this is the last major hurdle, so watch this space..
