For a second I was really excited about this, until I realised I don't have an iPhone. Not saying as a startup you should shift your focus on other platforms at all, but are you guys working on an Android app at the moment?

We sure are. Android is an awesome mobile platform and we're coding it up now!

Perhaps they could change it to the time of their launch?

I'd love an Android version of this that hooks up into the calendars that I sync. I love the idea that I can automatically let people know roughly where I am (or more importantly, others are) if I'm running late to a meeting. A cool feature I could think of is that the app can give estimates of how long it will take for person x to arrive given that they are walking/driving on public transportation.

Also, I find it incredibly amusing that the Moojive team is based in Sydney. Knowing the public transportation/traffic there it's only logical that this app came from there. If there's one constant in life, it's that you're going to be late to something in Sydney.
