Found an app for my Android phone called "BBfoc" that is suppose to work with vBulletin. It attempts login on probrewer but does not display anything. I emailed the app's creator and he said, well some stuff i didn't quite understand and I’m pretty tech savvy. At first he said try it after the next update, and then he said there is a plug-in that the Admin could install that may allow access via an app on a Android.
Anyone found a working app for probrewer Android, Palm, iPhone?- and don't say your phone's browser, yes it works but it is very difficult to navigate unless you have tiny fingers.
Admin- Do you know anything about this? Are there certain permissions that have to be set on you end to allow non-HTML access, or is it just something the developer still needs to overcome

To get this out of the way, I use Dolphin Browser on my Droid.

I used Dolphin for a bit, it had a couple annoying bugs/features i did not like. Figured I'd come back and try it again after an update or two. Probably wait till i get my Epic 4G now- if it is ever released.

So you Mac out your entire home and use Droid for your phone. Does Droid play nice with all your Macs?

Yes it does and is a better smart phone option than iPhone (for me). Verizon 3G = bulletproof in the circles I live in. The missus has AT&T 3G on her iPad and the coverage sucks.
I tend to read ProBrewer on the iPad though not on the Droid. The house is still PC though, until September.

The ads are annoying but the pinch-zoom and customizable commands are good.

Ads, yes bothersome. Ahh, you have fryo w/ pinch zoom eh? Haven't had pinch zoom since I gave up on my Palm Pre(s)- Love WebOS, the hardware quality, not so much. The zoom function on Dolphin running android 2.1 really gets in the way of navigation.
Thanks Admin!!
