Not saying the iPhone is better or anything, but it is

Delusion - first sign of madness.

Let's just forget that they brought out a phone where actually holding it cuts off the signal, Cutting edge my a*** :rotfl:

nor do i - but mainly 'cos I've got no idea what my login details are without my PC, and there's no way I'm gonna simplify them

FD just jumped on the must-have-an-iphone-app bandwagon without thinking about Android.

Exactly. Imagine if a petrol station decided to only sell diesel, or only unleaded.

Hmm not sure all this android business is exactly true, see quote below:

First Direct Chief Executive Matt Colebrook said: "This is about making the banking experience simpler and quicker, allowing our iPhone enabled customers to access key features of our internet banking; whenever they want and wherever they want.

"The iPhone App is as a huge step forward, but it's just the beginning of our ambitions for mobile banking. Our plans for 2011 are to make our 'on the go' mobile service available on other smartphone devices."

So it would appear that one is in development! :j

He also said in the same statement “...Android is growing rapidly, it’s nowhere near the iPhone just yet.”

Finger on the pulse! Not.

That's hilarious! He should look at the numbers:

Apple iPhone Smartphones -- 19% market share
Android Smartphones -- 48% market share

You would think a bank would be somehwat better with basic maths. Sigh.

(And the gap appears to be widening - Apple fell short of expectations of iPhone shipments by 3 million units this year so far)

Bump!

Please, if you use Android and FD, send them a message or tweet as OP suggests. They just told me today they aren't even working on an Android app, quite a change from their public stance less than a year ago.

Let's keep the campaign going!
