Looks like we will be very soon seeing the first iPhone only Social Network or a Consumer Network as the guys behind TheBlackApp put it.

Nothing much is really known about this startup at the moment, but it could potentially be a hit considering how much Internet crazy iPhone users are. They plan to launch it on June 5th which means that it will possibly launch before the iPhone firmware version 2 appears at the WWDC this June.

The only question will this be a native app that runs on Jailbroken iPhones, or will it be a native app using the SDK or will it be a web app?

I tried finding out as much as possible, but couldn’t. I’ve emailed the developers and am awaiting their reply. Once they do, I’ll update this post with more details. Until then lets keep our fingers crossed people!

Right now the registrations are on, so you might as well signup before the slots run out.

Have a look : TheBlackApp, Thanks Shankar Ganesh

Here are the answers to the questions that I put forward to the developers of The Black App :

• Will this work on the official SDK or Jailbroken iPhones? Or will it work as a Web App via Mobile Safari?Both
• What kind of social/consumer network are you trying to build?This will not be a social network, it will be a consumer one. Meaning, members will receive benefits such as discounts, special offers, etc. These will be based on the type of app–each one being more exclusive than the other.
• What are the special features of The Black App?Can’t get into that yet
• Could you tell me about your motivation behind this?iPhone/iTouch owners are a special group of consumer. Together they form a considerable buying demographic.
• Will we get to see a preview of The Black App before the 5th of June?Yes, but I can’t give you a firm date yet.
• Could you please mail me some screeenshots of The Black App in the early stages of its development?Sure… But closer to the launch date.

The developer has asked me to withhold his name from this post, and I honor that request. I will be watching The Black App and see how it goes. IMHO it should provide some real benefit to iPhone users worldwide.
