We’ve just launched a completely redesigned mobile experience for BlockChalk. Just visit http://blockchalk.com with the browser on your iPhone or Android phone to witness the new hotness. Through the magic of HTML5 we deliver the full BlockChalk experience entirely inside the browser and with nothing to download or install. This includes:

• Using GPS to post messages anywhere in the world and see what people are saying near you
  
• Setting your “home neighborhood” and interacting with your neighbors, even when you’re not there
  
• Using the new “Replies” tab to track when people reply to you, so you can keep the conversation going no matter where you are

Because web-based applications are so much faster to develop and deploy, it’s always been the plan to use ours as a “proving ground” for new features and designs that will eventually make their way into our native applications. That’s how BlockChalk originally started, and that’s how we plan to keep rocking it.

You can expect to see similar looks and functionality in our upcoming iPhone app (which we expect to be available soon) and the already-available Palm Pre app, with native apps to follow for other major smartphone platforms. Check out the new web app and start chalking up your block!
