I like what these guys are doing but the Android app seemed very limited feature wise.

It shows me the headline status for my server (CPU, RAM, disk space) but no graphs or historical reports or, from what I can see, admin functions

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the app is limited at the moment - but don't worry this is just pre-alpha-rc1 :) just one of the several projects to come out of our 24hr office hack-a-thon. Also, the app is open source, check it out here http://github.com/cloudkick/cloudkick-android

That's cool. I actually missed it was a hack-a-thon app + open source! :P

Rolling in an SSH client would be teh bombz btw

Hey Ben, you're right about the Android app (I was the main developer on that one), its very limited at the moment. In the immediate future I'm planning to add more check info and basic historical reporting if some sort (there aren't a lot of good graph libraries for Android at the moment or I would have made graphs a higher priority). Admin functions (so far everything is completely read only) might be further out pending some work on the API and discussion of security considerations.

Any comments, suggestions, contributions, etc are more than welcome, either by reply or email (check my profile).

A bit off topic, but is adding Windows Azure as a provider on your radar at all? We'd buy this in a heartbeat.
