I’m so happy this app is out (I blogged it before you did in fact) but there are some flaws that you missed. Unlike the mobile webpage you can’t post a note or photo without checking in, and the location search uses the gps only. So if you’re in a building it will only post to the last where you checked in and had a gps lock and will insist that you still are there no matter how many times you search. You can text search but it has weird results. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next version.

I’m liking the app so far, it does what you’d expect. It could use some deeper integration with the phone (ie: add it to the share menu, maybe a widget). The developer(s) has been very active on the Google Group (http://bit.ly/xYzmy) working with testers and fixing bugs. The Brightkite guys/gals really do a great job at innovating and taking care of their users.

Many apps are too lazy to perform, every time you will get news about a new piece of software added to a new phone but how many are really revolutionary?

I feel bad for the Blackberry guys that are getting screwed here. You fellas are much nicer than the iPhone fanboys and deserve better support. Blackberry users are some of the most loyal users, Brightkite needs to hook you up!

Seriously. Iphone app…check. Android beta app..check. Blackberry? An alpha app that’s ugly has limited features and no storm specific version.

I love Brightkite on my iPhone. I hope all those with Android phones enjoy this app. It’s a great one to sync with Facebook as well.

I love Brightkite…but an Android app before a BlackBerry app? Disappointing.

Cool, thanks for the heads up Greg. Looking forward to testing it out. You’re right us G1 users don’t like the prissy pants iPhone users =D

I guess it’s because we like function over form; the iPhone is indeed sexier but the G1 works better.
