You can also make this change in Futon if you browse to it in a desktop =
browser via the android tools port-forwarding. Once you open to all =
interfaces, just point any browser (also couchapp push) at your phone's =
IP address.

Obviously we need to fixup Futon to be mobile friendly (then you could =
config this from the phone browser directly). I think Mikeal has started =
on this work.
