Call Out: Where is the Digg iPhone App?
About three months ago we all got quite excited upon learning from Digg head honcho Kevin Rose that an app was in development for Digg. It was discovered as Rose “secretly” played around with an early version of the app as he was being interviewed by Arnt Erikson and Thomas Moen. Whether he meant to show it off or not, it was one of those “gotcha!” moments, where Kevin was caught with the app red-handed, and had to say something about it.
Yet, we still have seen nary a mention of the mythic iPhone app, let alone any sort of sneak peek or tentative release announcement. Digg has been absolutely quiet; perhaps that was exactly how most of the folks at Digg wanted it to be. Kevin did mention that nobody was even supposed to know about the app back in October.
So with as much time that’s passed, and not having heard any more rumblings from Diggnation about this, when can we expect to see the new app come out? Thus, I’m calling out Digg. C’mon guys, give us something to work with. We know it takes time to perfect an app at least to the point that it’s presentable, but we’d like to at least be comforted in knowing that Rose was right and there is still something in the works.
It’s time to step up, Digg. Share with us your thoughts and feelings please.
