GRNClient app for android phones
Some Notes about the GRNClient
This App is still in BETA mode
it has some 'quirks'
changing 'orientation' of your device, or allowing the screen to switch off seems to disconnect you
the only way to reconnect, is to go into your apps settings,
force close and restart the app.
more info here
(use translate if you need to) Including a direct download link to the android program
Download it to your P.C. and then Bluetooth it to your phone
make sure your phone is set to allow installation of non-Market apps
(usually in the security settings / apps section)

A You Tube demonstration can be seen >>> HERE
