Dwayne DeBardelaben ... live in Huntsville, AL where I write software for a living, but really want to write SF novels instead. Still methodically trying to get my first one published. Love the iPhone ... only wish I could hook up a bluetooth keyboard and use it for writing on the go.
Also, Anton, I LOVE to play golf as well! :-)
James McQuiggan, Orlando Florida - Network Engineer. Love playing chess and my iPod touch - OS 3.0 comes out June 17 - iPhone 8GB will only $99!
Walt Barret ... live in the Chicago area where I'm a pastor of a local church. Not much good at chess, but it keeps the 'graymatter' going...
I host a couple of groups here on chess.com: GrayMatter Chess Community and GrayMatter Ladder Chess. Anyone interested in playing ladder chess is welcome to come check this last link out... Come join the fun!
I've had my iPhone for just 2 months and it is the first piece of technology that I've been excited about in many years. Almost makes we warm-up to Apple... 
Very excited about Erik's initiative here!
Hi All...I am Trace from just outside of Washington DC. I like to juggle and watch old Twilight Zone episodes, but that is after my three little ones are in bed and the wife hasn't already tied up the TV. That and I am learning how to lose well at chess 
...been looking forward to this app and excited to be a part of the beta phase!
My name is Faisal (nick: fmisle) and i'm the CEO (the big boss) at Yentec Corporation. I play Golf too, and hope to help with the beta!
Hello my name is Wesley and I'm an iPhone addict. I'm also a chess addict. BUT I CAN STOP ANYTIME I WANT!! I just don't want to. 
I recognize most of you as members of the iPhone / Pod Touch Owners' Group, but in case anyone here is not a member yet, you can join here.
Hiya,
My name is Michael something-or-other - it's probably on my profile... Having trouble concentrating... New iPhone 3G S ... Want.. Now.

My name is Yaqub and i srsly CANT wait to see this app. No joke, ever since i got my iphone i wanted a chess.com app, and this was before Erik had even plans of doing it (ok that may not be true but still LOL).
Very excited about this :D
Oh and im going to America in 9 days :D (Erik i'll be in San Jose area, if you're free let me know if you wanna play :D:D:D)
Name's Larry, 21 year old music major from Dallas TX, recently got SNUBBED by Erik!! (Just kidding! hehe.) at the Las Vegas tournament.
Looking forward to this app highly. Hopefully beta testers will have access to all the features when the normal app comes out =P Even if you have it restricted to the subscription-based members, we should get omni-accesss..... hehe.(I only say this cause I had to cancel my diamond membership recently for money issues, but I'll be back I'm sure... can't stay away from Chess Mentor and the videos!)
Greetings all!
I'm Eric -- with a 'c' -- and I'm lead software engineer at an Orlando-area (/wave JRMScooter) company specializing in ticketing software. I've worked a little bit of QA in the past and had responsibility for the QA department at one time (no more, thankfully!). Past beta experience includes World of Warcraft and a few others I forget, so I'm familiar with the drill.
Here at chess.com, I spend my time on Online Chess (mostly tournaments & team games), Vote Chess, Tactics Trainer, and a bit of the forums. I play most days on my lunch break on iPhone's Safari, so I've been looking forward to this app since before it was ever promised.
My name is Joseph and I'm from Greenville, South Carolina. Been waiting patiently for this app to come.
Hey guys, the name is Nathan and I'm from Hazard Kentucky. Excited about what is to come.
Hi -
My name is Adam and I'm a long-time Apple/Mac fanboy (since '84). I work as a senior consultant for a global IT consulting & outsourcing firm and have done front to back web development for over 10 years.
I played club chess in high school, but in the past 2 years have I renewed my passion for the game and taken a more serious approach to improving my play... all thanks to Chess.com and the people I've met here.
My name is Les and teach English at a University in Richmond, VA. I've known the rules to chess since I was a little one, but only recently have started playing on a regular basis (thanks Chess.com).
I love Chess.com on the iPod touch. First time I've been excited enough about an upcoming program to participate in a beta.
Hi Everyone,
I'm Bob and like all of you I am really looking forward to trying this application and getting a chance to offer some feedback on it. Playing online chess on an iPhone now can get a bit tedious with the load time, resizing the window, etc. (though for me still well worth it - lol). I live in the Chicago area and have greatly enjoyed chess.com since I joined in August of last year.
Hi,
thanks for having me as Beta Tester.. I am 37yo from Luxembourg and rather new to chess, started playing by the end of last year :)
Hi. My name is Frank Johnson and I am an active chess player. I look forward to leaving my laptop at home and playing on both my iphone and itouch.
My name is Aaron Rhoads. I am a recreational chess player in Kansas City. I'm looking forward to playing on my iPhone 3G.
