Now the dust has settled around ICS, I thought I’d write a little something on upcoming improvements to AndChat.
Firstly, there is a lot of work being done to make AndChat work great on ICS. The main improvement being worked on is the userlist handling, which will be similar to how it works on Honeycomb and slight changes to the UI. The challenging part with the userlist is the small screen real estate and nick selection and I’m working hard to find a nice way to get it to work.
So after 8 months of post graduate unemployment (excluding my 1.5 month holiday 
), I finally found work, yay. Working within a multinational company in their IT department.
Received my free N1 from Google today, as part of the device seeding program. Phone is sweet but I don’t think I can survive with only a soft keyboard so I’ll keep my G1 on me for now… Also, AndChat really flies on the N1 compared to the G1. Looking forward to solving the problems specific to 2.1 that I’ve never been able to reproduce on the emulator but users keep contacting me about.
No, it’s not deja vu. As before, all links still work. Now return to your normal hotlinking activities….
I’ve put up a donate version of AndChat in the Market for anyone who doesn’t mind paying £1.99 for my efforts. If you haven’t got a Google Checkout account or credit card, you can make a donation via PayPal.
For anyone curious/worried, the free version is not a ‘lite’ or ‘trial’ version, the only difference between the 2 is the ‘About’ screen. AndChat will always be free but a contribution is always appreciated.
I was bored and decided to see what all the fuss was about ChatRoulette. Eventually, just talking got boring and decided it was time to use the webcam effects that come with the Dell software. Pics of teh lulz below.
