Man, all of these suggestions are great! Is there any potential timeline for this happening?

That'd be fantastic Sean! If you need any alpha or beta testers, I'd be glad to help.

There's a few users in development with their Ping iPhone magic. I'm considering expediting an official app since in such high demand.

I agree! Is should be very easy to create as well is surprised it has not been done already...

The web app works, the native iPhone app would be a tipping point because the experience would be that much more robust. If there's any way to fast track it, I don't see anything more valuable at this point.

Android is right around the corner too...

Plus one!!

A comment on the question "Is there an iPhone Application planned for future release?" in Ping.fm:

joe user would use ping.fm because it is the one that updates all of them. While there are benefits to an open platform, not all of the sites Ping works with are open either, APIs provide reasonably good interoperability including to Ping's service itself. So I would think an ambitious coder could already get to work on something, but personally I'm looking forward to the "official" app. "One Ping to rule them all!" – radione, on August 06, 2008 00:49

I say develop an open source in house version that can be extended by other programmers. The only way this product will be able to compete long term is to make it the best one out there.

I expect the large social networking sites as well as Twitter will be incorporating many of these features into their apps.

Why would joe user use ping.fm when he can use Facebooks built in functionality.

The future lies in getting all these different platforms to work together in as many ways possible, If you guys can work with open standards that facilitate this and develop the best product then your future looks bright.

From what I have seen so far you are well on your way... The iPhone being a glaring omission to this of course...

I think it would build confidence and awareness of Ping.fm for this to be an official app. Since you already have the web app, it is the next logical step.

I vote for "official app" I'm so excited about it...

Sean replied on August 05, 2008 19:53 to the question "Is there an iPhone Application planned for future release?" in Ping.fm:

This can go two ways really. We can develop the official app, which we have planned. Or, someone could make one to tie into our API. We've had a couple people request API keys for this but have nothing surface yet.

It's in high demand, so I think we will be moving on it very soon.

Take as long as you want... But know that the first company to bring this functionality to market will most likely be the industry leader. That is the nature of business.

Unless Facebook decides to integrate this functionality into their API and then they will be the market leader based on sheer number of installed users.

Good to hear it is at least on your plate somewhere.

Chris Pirillo (www.chris.pirillo.com) mentioned to those in the ping.fm irc once that someone emailed him telling him that they were making an iphone app for it.

Sean replied on August 04, 2008 16:44 to the question "Is there an iPhone Application planned for future release?" in Ping.fm:

In due time.

radione replied on August 04, 2008 05:21 to the question "Is there an iPhone Application planned for future release?" in Ping.fm:

I really, really, hope this happens soon!

It is a "Web Application." An actual applciation ON THE PHONE would drop the required time to download the Ping website data all together. It would be stored in the app. Somtimes even Ping mobile takes a few seconds, as much as 15 to 20 seconds to load over edge and 3G..

Not to mention, with a Ping iPhone App, they could also introduce the abilty to attach photos to upload rather than having to email them from the iphone.

They could also introduce Location Based Services to communicate our location to services like Bright Kite and Twitter.

There are a few other features they could do with an iPhone App that CANT BE DONE with a Web App

A native app is faster!

Also a native app will cache a message if you have no signal or its weak.

If you guys dont someone else will...
