Yeah, there are a bunch of ways to do it. If you don't mind running your own server, setting up SSL and the like you can just use tcatms web interface today. For a native/standalone client more work needs to be done. Goonie in this forum is working on an Android client based on BitCoinJ but I think it'll be at least the end of the summer before anything is working really well.

Reddit people seem to be understanding bitcoin a whole lot more than they used to.

There are some really nice discussions taking place there. Many people defdending Bitcoin quite well against the skeptics.

A native client, among other things, is essential for mainstream acceptance. I'm looking forward to seeing it in the market.

Bitcoin, the original C++ implementation, was first built on Android months ago. That's as native as you can get.
