Thanks! I'm Dustin, Lead Mobile Engineer at Simple. We're working on an Android version and hiring Android developers: http://careers.simple.com/apply/phViRT/Android-Engineer.html

Same here, at least 1.5, probably closer to 2 (I think their original invitation signups were in June or July of 2010).

to be completely honest - I am sitll confused what Simple does differently than Mint.com

also - have been on the waiting list forever...

Simple is like an online banking account where as Mint requires you to have an existing bank or credit card account. Mint just helps you to visual and consolidate all your accounts into one easy to access area.

Simple requires you to have an existing bank or credit card account too, right??

No:

Can I use Simple with my current bank?

No. You’ll transfer money to our platform, where it’s held in an FDIC-insured account at our partner bank. Our partner holds the funds, and we take care of the rest.
