Practically all of us carry a camera phone, not all of us an Apple one. should I feel sorry I'm not your target or you should be sorry because you restrict a social network to one platform?

    "...via the photos you take every day with your mobile device. We’re launching first on the App Store on iPhone. If you do not have an iPhone, you can still register and check out Path through your browser." I took this to mean that they're definitely planning on releasing for other platforms.

Have they stated that they're an iPhone only platform? Are there no plans to develop an Android version? A Windows version? From the blog post they say, "We’re launching first on the App Store on iPhone." implying versions for other mobile platforms will be available in the future. Don't mistake limited resources for a decision to be iPhone only. In my experience, iPhone development tends to be significantly faster than on other platforms. Both because of the ubiquity of information about the iOS SDK and the learning curve necessary to learn a mobile platform is lower than Windows or Android.

  IMHO a photo-sharing app with social features it shouldn't be platform-specific from the beginning. I wish them good anyways and I'm curious if/how fast will this product succeed. Twitter has succeeded on it's limit of 140 chars, maybe this one will do it too on it's 50 friends, the idea seems kind of cool and simple.

    Sure, but of all the arguments for native-apps, seamless integration with camera taking functionality is a worthy one. To build something that integrates with the camera requires platform-specific solution (says a disgruntled but understanding Android user who can't use Path yet either)

Just look at their jobs page (http://www.path.com/jobs http://www.path.com/jobs), they are actively looking for iOS/Android/BlackBerry/Web engineers. They probably released this earlier than they were supposed to because of instagram (http://instagr.am/ http://instagr.am/) and that's why they are currently missing other platforms.
