Dear Chess.com Developers,

Is there a version of your chess.com mobile software in the works that is compatible with phones running Windows Mobile operating systems?

I would love to access chess.com from my smart phone, but sadly, Windows Mobile seems to be the only platform not supported.  Is this a contract/legal issue, or just an oversight?

 

Thank You.

erik will reply that you can try the java application...

however it's not working well on my WM6.5 :( i can list the "my move"'s games but not play them !).

i also tried Opera on a direct access on chess.com. don't work too.

The problem is that the Java version is 1/8th as powerful as the apps available for other platforms.  Windows Mobile can accommodate  a more powerful/extensive application such as those available for iPhone, Droid, and Blackberry.

I'm just curious if the lack of such an app available for Windows Mobile OS is the result of oversight, or some specific legal or practical reason.

Hoping to get a response.   =)

This is because we haven't yet found a good partner to do it for us yet :)

For the other applications we have, we've had somebody come to us to offer to develop it.

Ahh, I see.  I wish I had programming knowledge!

Thank you for the response.

To parlay this response; is anyone with the requisite skillsets interested in helping Chess.com write a client app for Windows Mobile OS?
