Seafood Watch is a program of the Monterey Bay Aquarium designed to raise consumer awareness about the importance of buying seafood from sustainable sources. We recommend which seafood to buy or avoid, helping consumers to become advocates for environmentally friendly seafood. Since our program began we have distributed millions of paper pocket guides that outline which seafood is a best choice or a good alternative, and which seafood should be avoided. Our iPhone app is the next step, it allows users to always have the most up-todate information with them. Over time, we hope the app will allow us to reduce our paper use. We'd also like to have Blackberry, Windows Mobile and Android versions of the app to expand its reach.
Currently we're looking for ideas for the next iteration of the app, including new features and functionality, innovative data mashups and displays, and ways in which users can contribute data points and interact with one another.

Love this project!
Humberto has done an amazing job of bootstrapping this project to get data into the hands of consumers. the iPhone is a great (and high vis) start, but not everyone who eats seafood in the US as one. Let's help free the data across mobile platforms.

Thoughts on next platform
We would love any insights into which platform to go after next. Is one easier than another? Which has the biggest market share? Has anyone experiments with solutions that take html/JavaScript and turn them into apps?
I personally would love to
I personally would love to see this as an Android app! Android is very customizable, powerful, open source and has already surpassed Apple in the mobile market share, at least in Europe. Is there a way I can subscribe to changes, in case the app becomes available for Android?
