A new feature has just been added to the World of Warcraft Mobile Armory app: remote Guild Chat! As part of the latest update for the free Mobile Armory app for the iPhone and iPod touch, the new Guild Chat feature lets you stay in touch with your guildmates wherever you go:
- Read and contribute to your guild's in-game chat channel in real time
- Participate in one-on-one conversations with members of your guild
- View the members of your guild who are currently online
For a limited time, players can use the Guild Chat feature without a subscription to World of Warcraft Remote. During this time, we'll be rolling out the Guild Chat feature to select realms, with more realms being added in the future -- check out the list below to see if the feature is currently available on your realm. After the free preview period ends, players will need to have a subscription to World of Warcraft Remote in order to continue using the feature. We'll announce the end of the free preview period, along with the availability of the feature on Android devices, in the near future -- keep an eye on the official World of Warcraft website for further details.
To learn more about World of Warcraft Remote subscriptions, which also grant you full access to the Remote Auction House, visit the World of Warcraft Remote page, or go here to subscribe.
The World of Warcraft Mobile Armory app is available as a free download from the App Store for iPhone and iPod touch.

I never said anyone was? Stop jumping to conclusions? I'm saying this App is lame and rather have something more exciting.

"Not available for my Realm"
Lame. Why? Why announce something so cool and then not give it to half the servers?
I have the right phone, I have the app, I sign in and it tells me to get screwed. Yay Bliz.

I don't understand the anti-Iphone or Android fan boy world. Please name the amazing things you can do with Android that you can't with Iphone. It's funny, i see a LOT of Android yelling, and very little Iphone noise. It's like people with Iphones are just happy, and busy being productive, while Android users must scream at the top of the mountain how good their phone is, while changing their home screen to an ugly mess so you can't even see the Icons.
I came from the Palm world, Treo's, etc. Were very powerful for their time, but eventually cheap build quality and shoddy programming made me switch. I would be a prime candidate for an Android- but playing with both I clearly saw Iphone as a better experience. I'm dying to find out what the Android fans think is so good about their phones? Please explain because I don't see it.

You don't notice the iPhone noise because you're busy adding to it.

If you already have the paid app service it should work on ANY server now... Just my 2cents
