Hi - unfortunately at this point I need to halt the requests for the iPhone beta as we are quite oversubscribed.
Android remains open for the rest of the day, but we are going to have to halt that then too. Sorry about that - but on the other hand thank you very much for such a great response.

I use both iOS and Android. I wonder if the new apps will have feature parity. At the moment the iOS version has had a lot more attention to detail with UI, although Android has to run on a wide variety of screen sizes.

(And what will BA be doing with the data that people have PMed you linking real names, email addresses, BAEC numbers and FlyerTalk handles?)

What is the criteria for acceptance? I gave a bit more detail than was asked for in my PM (what iOS and Android devices I have and what version OS are they running) as I think it's important that they get a good cross section of device users as well as also different types of flyers whose needs are different.
