Cool! Is there an Android app too?

The code is similar since they both basically lie on top of Linux. There are a lot of Huddlers on this platform. Don't leave us out! :wacko:

Thanks everyone. We are excited to be able to offer the iPhone app this season. The reason we started with the iPhone is pretty obvious, over 50 million phones sold and climbing fast. We may do an Android version, but haven't decided on that yet. While that operating system is gaining ground, they are still a distant second to iPhone in the US at this time. It is also a completely different language and requires a new build, not an adaptation of the iPhone app. As for Blackberry, that isn't in the plans. Their market share is decreasing and that trend is very likely to continue. And it's not really an "app" device by design and they will always be playing catch up to the iPhone and Androids in our opinion.

Any chance we could get a lo-fi version of the huddle forums with posting ability? That would work great on a smartphone.

Not for much longer. Recent studies show that less than half of blackberry owners would get another one. Many predict them to be #3 in US market share but the end of next year. BB users I know are dumping them left and right for iPhones, and those still using them do so just as a hand held email / texting device, not for apps (BB holds only about 5% of the app market). Also, the platform is a nightmare to develop on. Bottom line is that currently BB is at the bottom of the heap as a development platform.

+1. Although, in my opinion, I believe BB users are dumping them for Android smartphones. Most people I know prefer to not deal with AT&T, deal with iPhone 4 issues, or support Steve Jobs.

Not sure why? There's a huge difference between the two. Once Blackberry users go iPhone they'll never go back.

 

AT&T is the only company which uses the iphone. AT&T does not provide service everywhere.

The 7th grader next door wrote an app for his BB. He said it was harder than his iphone. I've never worked on either.

Does making your BB make a fart noise qualify as a business app? :wacko: Ask your neighbor's kid if the app works on all the BB platform and carrier variations? Odds are it doesn't, as there are hundreds that have to be individually coded for.

 

Anecdotal arguments aside, facts are facts. BB is losing market share and they have virtually zero presence in the app market. So why would a company of any kind spend resources developing for that platform. The fact is they are not. Many development firms won't even do BB work.

Hey what's up ?

I just added the app and I was able to see info that is normally only available to paying subscribers ?

The first article I opened was about Vjax

When I went to the huddle online and tried to access this article I had to sign in first ?

So are we giving away for free (what others have to pay for) if they have an Iphone ?
