Pausing the podcast on my ANDROID phone to say: “Ok, listen here HENRY!!!!”
I somehow stumbled upon you guys at the very beginning…seriously, it was Episode 3 and dear Nate still had his Android phone. Sure I was disappointed that he jumped ship but I just wanted all of you to know that your “Android listener” didn’t leave a long time ago–she’s still here eating up the Disney tech. So keep up the great work and don’t forget about those of us who aren’t going to switch even when Verizon does get the iPhone:)
Loving this gowalla conversation, btw. I just joined gowalla last week when I heard about the venture with Disney. Going to WDW in 11 days so your podcast timing is PERFECT-O!
Keep it up!

Another Android phone listener!!
And yes, Facebook has an Android app…it is integrated into the OS. My contact list on my phone syncs with Facebook so everyone’s picture from FB appears in my contact list.
My hesitancy using any of these location apps is that I really don’t want everyone on the planet to know that I’m on vacation and that my house is sitting empty at home…a prime target for burglars.

Hi,
I think this is a great idea. My only beef is that people like me from the UK can’t take advantage of this, which means we will miss out on pins and discounts etc. If Disney put a blanket wifi services over property that would be awesome, but for Brits to use data services abroad, with my provider (Vodafone) costs £3 a MB up to 5MB, then £15 for every 5MB after that. So $5 to about $18. This is just to much money for most people on a 14 night holiday, but it seems unfair that we should miss out
