At first I was really not that interested in the iPhone, until I started seeing some of the apps that were available. A lot of them seem pretty cool and useful. I want to see what the blackberry app store is going to have in it.

When you develop an app for the Android G1 phone, I would be happy to beta test it.

Why can't you do what Podcaster did, recompile the app with a slightly different name, so that you can beta more users? I'd love to test. I'm not a huge user of BKite now on my Touch, because I have to type in my location. If it auto-detected, I'd use it sooooo much!!
Anyway, I can't wait to see it on the store! Any ideas on when it'll be submitted?

Thanks!

I've have stopped using BrightKite because of the lack of iPhone app… It's the best service I've seen that involves friend tracking and the GPS on the iPhone will only make its better. I guess you guys are lucky that Loopt sucks but I hope you release it soon because someone will come out with something better.

Thank all for you patience, the iPhone app will be in the app store soon… and when we say "soon", we really do mean it! :)

Where is the iPhone APP?

Screenshots Please!!

74 days after the release of the iPhone 3G, 2 and the App Store …..

I personally believe that Brightkite is lucky that facebook has not added location discovery services to its existing iPhone app. It would be much easier to "follow and track" the friends you already have, leveraging one of the most widely used and active social networks.

I also strongly believe that Brightkite is also losing out on the opportunity to capture unsatisfied Loopt users and gain significant market share and headway in the area of location based social networking.

I look forward to the release of your iPhone application. I think this could be big …..

Any updates? …. another month just about to end.

If I was investing in Brightkite I would be nervous. Almost 80 days and no results?

Loopt just came out out with a new iPhone update introducing Loopt Mix which displays a page which will show you all other users around you based on proximity. Your competition is striving and continuously improving there product and you have yet to release one.

It seems to me you should make some adjustments in your delivery team – if it's your programmers you should hire more or find some more efficient ones.

Is your leadership not agreeing on your approach? Maybe you should get a board of directors to help make decisions?

You should start pulling some all-nighters.

I would love to be a beta tester for the iphone app but the form link seems to be broken.
###EDIT###
This was a problem with my adblock app blocking the popup from an external website. I was able to get in despite my best efforts. Sorry if I caused a firedrill.

I applyed. The link worked for me

PS: nice background ^^

Will this app be iPod touch capable? Because the form seems to be for iPhone owners only :(

Anyway, this is a very good news and a good argument to make me buy an iPhone 3G ;)

The application worked for me too. Thanks for spending your labor day weekend on us!

app form work… looking forward to this! thanks Brady!

thanks :)

I have feel the form, really hope to be part of the béta….

Your welcome…we are laboring away on the app ;)

No problem glad you got it working!

I send in my application form… please pick me I've been waiting for this for so long! I need to be part of it this!

goodie goodie hope one comes my way… please? please?

It will most likely be compatible, but we don't think that the iPod Touch makes a good platform for this because location accuracy will be bad, and coverage really, really spotty.

Dang it! I knew I should jumped on the computer earlier today. Put me on the waiting list, if there is one.

oh sheeeesh!! i think i just missed out to try the beta.. damn!!

Any chance of getting one my way.. please please!! :) I've been waiting too long for this.. hehe

Ahhhh!!! No!!! I missed it. :(

*dances*

I missed it to. I checked this blog before I went to sleep (here in sweden) and when I woke up it was to late.

I also filled the form, and wanna be part of the béta ;)

Same here – checked the blog before bed and this morning it's already too late! Damn!
Can't wait to use this app!

I had it loaded up on my iPhone but couldn't get my Device ID D:

Totally bummed. :(

Ouch … I check this site every DAY .. and missed it. Oh Well.. glad development is getting closer.

wow, I missed it, but excited to see Brightkite has made it to the app store.

i'd love some screen shots

Agreed!

LOL .. can we "hide" this posting? I keep kicking myself for missing the beta announcement.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE open this up to others! I am so jealous!!!

We would love to open it up but Apple only allows a limited number of slots for ad-hoc beta testing.

Sweet! I missed the beta sign up which sucks but I will wait for the app to come to the App Store. Sucks that Apple only lets you have 100 testers but then I can understand why. Not to side step this thread but who's looking forward for the Apple event coming up?

Damn too slow. Shame because I am a usability specialist in my job and would sacrifice my first born to get my hands on this app :)

Are you able to buy it in the Apple Store without a contract? I don't mean unlocked, just without a contract. It is for a Christmas present for a person with an older IPhone with a contract with ATT already. How much is it?by..letting

I am planning on buying the apple iphone 8gb, the 3G, but the thing is, i don't want the plan, and just the phone. How much will this cost me, and where can i buy it for a reasonable price besides ebay? also, how much is warranty…?letting
