Hot on the heels of their BlackBerry announcement last week, Tungle today announced the availability of support for the iPhone. Just as recipients of Tungle invites can respond to them on BlackBerry, now they’re capable of receiving and responding to those invites on iPhone.
A welcome feature, to be sure, and a hot hand for today’s hot handset. One wonders why the announcements weren’t packaged together as a larger “Tungle goes mobile” rather than piece-mealing them out handset by handset. I’m sure there was a good reason.

Hi Alec, this is a good question. We decided to go with two separate releases because the iPhone and BlackBerry audiences are quite different. Each have their own set of followers and pundits. So, it was a question of sending relevant news to the appropriate stakeholders.
