Skill do train while you are not playing the game, but changing skill requires a login in to game.
No web interface to my knowledge yet (well you can check your character sheet, but no skill change possibilities).

There isn't currently any way to change skills other than logging into the game. CCP have also always stated that they won't ever make such a thing because it would make it all too easy for character sellers and all that stuff. Plus they actually want people to play.

If you have one of these fancy smartphones, you can install your eve client on your phone. Suitable for switching skills.

Dont most phones run PalmOS/Symbion/Windows Pocket PC? These dont have DirectX9 on them. Though, with phones that have 4 times the hard drive my first PC did, theirs plenty of room for the client!

There was going to be an EVE Mobile client for Windows Mobile PDAs, but that never materialised. What the other post may be talking about is Chribba's use of the internet and programs to control his PC from his PDA/Phone. This way the phone isn't running EVE, but it is controlling it. You can play EVE just like you would normally like this, though it is a little more difficult I'd imagine.

Since they upgraded new characters to start with 800k SPs, it is almost pointless to seek a feature like this. Skills train while you are logged out, and with new characters starting with many skills in the level 3-4 range, you can simply switch skill training (no points are lost) while you are away and then move back to the short skill while active. This way, no training time is lost and you're still training skills you want.
It's a nice idea, but it is redundant.

I disagree, it would still be a useful feature. Even if you do work on long skills while not online and short skills while playing, eventually you're very likely to wind up with multiple skills with rather inconvenient training times for either. For me, anything over 5 hours but less than 10 hours is really quite a pain.
Those long skills end up being short, and the middle-skills end up settling into that pesky 5-10 hour range. That range where you can't really train it overnight or while at work without it finishing 'early' and training them while playing it'll end up taking several days worth of playtime to actually get it finished.
Trust me, I used to do just as you suggested but found myself with a dozen or so mostly trained skills that I wasn't gaining any benefit from because they all were in that 5-10 hour range and waiting in the proverbial queue to get trained during my active playtime.
I resorted to installing EVE on my work computer (which I'm certainly not supposed to) for the express purpose of switching skills. It's not an ideal situation, as I'm sure you can see.

Last I heard it was still under way.

Some sort of web interface to switch skills and train would be a very useful feature. For those of us who have day jobs can train the skills for their characters during the day so by the evening the new skills would have been acquired and ready to use. Its a shame CCP would not implement such a feature.

just an ability to continue to the next level of a skill would help i work away for 2 weeks behind firewalls so i can't use the client and this makes it impossible for me so i lose skill time a web interface would be handy to train the skill you already have and not start new ones.

While that don't have DirectX9, I do know that there are Remote Desktop clients for PalmOS/Windows Pocket PC, so if your phone is running either of those, you could set it up to remote control an Eve client that is running on your home PC.

P.S. If you think you're reading some information through the lines here, you're wrong. I'm actually just bored.

This is the way that people are changing skills with their phones.
Myself, I am bad and installed EVE on my work computer so that I can pop in and change skills when needed. (or maybe run a mission or 2, or check market orders, or sit on gatecamps, or um, like play the game lol)
