Up to this point we’ve tailored our core Gowalla experience to the iPhone, but we know that there are plenty of you out there using other location-aware smartphones who would like to go out with Gowalla. Today we’re excited to announce our first step in supporting platforms beyond iPhone with our mobile site at m.gowalla.com.

Gowalla for Mobile Web currently supports the location-aware browsers on Android and iPhone OS devices (even iPod touch if you’re on a wifi network). Our goal is to add support for other location-aware browsers in the next couple of weeks.

To be sure, we’re anxious to get native Gowalla clients out there for Android, Blackberry and Palm, but this is an important first step towards bridging our gap. In the future, you’ll also find us testing out new experimental features at m.gowalla.com before we add them to our native clients. So even if you’re on iPhone, it’s worth checking out.

We still consider this a beta release and no doubt you’ll find some bugs. We’d really appreciate your feedback. Additionally, as of today, you are not able to create new spots or swap items on the mobile web, but these features will be added in the days to come.

So go kick the tires, check in, and go out with Gowalla on Android!
