Looking forward to it as well - suggestion: instead of doing a specific iPhone site and dealing with device detection, why not create a mobile site and provide an iPhone-specific stylesheet? For reference, see http://mymilemarker.com/m
That also allows you to use a single URI for mobile devices, rather than being platform- or browser-specific (e.g. http://m.brightkite.com/ would work nicely).
Having fun with Brightkite so far, now I just need to get more people in South Florida to use it...

Inappropriate?Yep. Would love it.
Would love the mobile-specific feature of it, too. -
Inappropriate?Until the mobile version launches, you should compress and gzip your JavaScript file, which would be a huge step towards making the site more functional on iPhones.
The main.js file is 0.25 MB for every page load. If you gzipped that you'd get it down to 60k. Running the JS through YUI compressor and then gzip would get you down to 44k.
I've basically given up on using BrightKite when I'm on Edge networks, which is most of the time. Loading the page can take several *minutes* which is essentially unusable. -

Inappropriate?Yes, we know :) Be patient, keep in mind that you are getting to use this stuff early...we wanted to get some feedback on the non-iPhone stuff first.
Expect an initial iPhone version towards end of the week/beginning of next week.

Inappropriate?I'd like to add my vote for a mobile-but-not-iPhone version for those of us in the PIE/Opera Mini/NetFront ghetto. -
Inappropriate?I would like to see an iPhone native app like mobiletwitter, an iPhone web version like i.brightkite.com a mobile verion at m.brightkite.com and a install version for Nokia phones (N95)
Thanks
Wayne
I’m confident you can

We have all of those in the works.

Inappropriate?Good to see the iPhone version of BrightKite is coming.
You said on Twitter (http://twitter.com/brightkite/statuse...): "...we want people to test out the web and SMS stuff first". That's great, but how many of your users actually are from within the US / have an operator you guys support? I'm from Belgium, and would love a lightweight mobile version to quickly update my being and doing.
Great work all!
I’m hopeful!
