ok here's the deal, I'm on a HP touchpad, which is a webOS tablet, I'm looking for a free irc liner I can use on my tab, internet based or app based doesn't matter I want to run my bar again.... So for that I'm willing to offer 50k to the best solution, so you know, mibbit and Mr's irc clients don't work. Thanks, me.

I just ran a quick search and came up with this:

https://developer.palm.com/appredirect/index.php?packageid=org.webosinternals.catalog.wirc

It costs money though.  Only $4.99ish but after running a couple of search's there doesn't seem to be a great deal of IRC clients for webOS.

This one is for Palm, not sure if it will be compatible with your tablet.....

^^ The actual Pound page, gives you a bit more of an explanation of it.  Looks like it might work, and is free, which is always a bonus.
