Very nice update. Thank you!
One feature request...
When I land at the hub I turn on my phone to find out three things.
1. The gate that we're taxiing to
2. The status of my connecting flight (delays, etc.)
3. The departure gate of my connecting flight
It would be nice if the app recognized that you're mid-trip and could provide that information in a single place with a single user action.

Nice progress. Anyone tried changing seats yet? I just went in and looked at the map but am happy with my assignments, so no changes made. Just wondering if it's more reliable than DL.dumb. I'm also a bit worried about accuracy. DL9 on 27 October, for instance, shows an almost empty Y cabin on DL.dumb. However, the Android app shows rows 31-35 being completely full, despite none of the CDE seats in those rows showing occupied on DL.dumb or EF
Also, still no fix to showing other airline flights with a DL prefix (MH2 showing up as DL2, KE908 showing up as DL908, etc.)

Have you confirmed on DL.dumb that you're in the new seat? Given the inaccuracies I saw in the Android seat map, I'm curious if it's working properly.

The other one I note has perhaps less impact, but it should be really easy to fix!

This is not restricted to non-preferred seats, as 678C all show occupied in the app, while only 6C is occupied on the web. For absolutely crazy, look at DL40 on 30 October. App shows all but eight seats in rows 31-46 as occupied, when in fact only eight of them are actually occupied! This appears to be a pretty serious bug that needs to be fixed ASAP.

e-readers please delta app
@Danny_DeltaeCommerce Any chance you could look at this as well:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/16760062-post58.html
There will be many many more of us with ANDROID wifi e-Readers that could use this. As a PLATINUM medallion member I sure would be a happy flyer!

And how would you normally go about installing applications on this device? The quick research I did said that while the Android Marketplace isn't installed on this device, you could go the route of installing the Amazon Marketplace and get applications from there. Right now we are not in the Amazon Marketplace but it is something that we are looking at.

What version of the OS does that device run? I tried doing some quick research and didn't see which particular version is installed. The current application supports 2.1 and higher.

I found a site that had the manual download of the:
com.delta.mobile.android_v1.5.apk
EDIT: The little unit runs an ARMv6 cpu with (Kernel version 2.6.27 PDUI@ANDROID)
I can not use the Android Marketplace as this is not a "phone" but an e-Reader. They will be millions more of these but most will have the updated OS and ARMv7 CPU. But, if you can make it work some way with OS 1.5 I sure would be a happy flyer!
Thanks for the post either way. "Keep Climbing" Delta - I love my airline!

Just downloaded the 1.5 version of the Delta app to my Android phone last night. Last night, from the "Hi, mnbp" initial screen, I clicked on "Check in AAA to BBB". The link showed my flight but did not offer an option to check in for the flight. However, when I brought up my itinerary from "View my trips" screen, I was able to check in. Now that I am checked in, I can't test this again to see if I missed something originally.

We just released version 1.5.1 to address the seat map issue mtkeller brought to our attention. Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention.
Using the web browser that is on the device you can go to Amazon market and load applications that way. At this point we aren't in the Amazon market, but we are looking into it.
But the biggest problem is that the e-reader is using version 1.5 and the application was written to support version 2.1 and higher.
For the seat key, there is an area to tap at the top of the area where the map is loaded that will display the seat key if you tap on it: Screen shot
