Digg iPhone App Finally iOS 4 Compatible

A quick yet important update for the official Digg client for iPhone, which reaches version 1.1.2 and introduces iOS 4 support. The app , developed by Digg together with taptaptap, was released some months ago in the App Store and stood at the top chart of free apps for quite a while. It’s a nice app, but there are many other good alternatives around.

Anyway, together with iOS 4 support there are some performance improvements and easier social sharing features. The app is free, go download it here.

Dropbox for iPhone Adds HD Uploads, Bug Fixes

Another update for Dropbox for iPhone, which reaches version 1.2.4 - an update aimed at fixing compatibility issues with iOS 4, together with some new iPhone 4-specific features.

The new version includes HD settings for iPhone 4, but only for newly recorded videos and not for those stored in the Library. Also, there’s a new “Require Immediately” passcode setting if a user leaves the app for a moment.

1Password Pro 3.5 Available: iOS 4 & Dropbox Support, Retina Display-ready

Oh, when they talk about good timing. I was actually thinking about this a few minutes ago, and here’s a major update for 1Password Pro. The latest 3.5 version (universal for iPhone and iPad) introduces full support for iOS 4 and iPhone 4 (with high-resolution graphics), Dropbox sync and a new “Look up in 1Password” iPad bookmarklet. (update: tested, works great on the iPad)

Together with bug fixes and improvements, we also have new auto-lock features for multitasking - a pretty much needed option for devices running the new OS. The app comes at $14.99 in the App Store and it’s available here.

Must-have.

Dear Apple, This Is What I Want On The iPad

I’ve been playing around with my iPad for three months now, and it has definitely changed many things in the way I approach my job, Twitter, news and the web in general. Is it magical? Yes, it is. Is it magical enough to completely reinvent the way people think of mobile devices? Maybe, but it’s personal.

The iPad is a highly personal device. Even more than the iPhone, which is and always will ultimately be a phone, the iPad has no defined purpose. Sure, Apple says that it’s the best way to read emails, surf the web and watch movies, but it’s up to you to turn the tablet into your machine. A productivity machine, an entertainment one or a gaming device? Your call.

For as much as I enjoy using my iPad, there are some things I’m missing. Features, let’s just say. Whether it’s about hardware adjustments I’d like to see, or software updates coming in the next months, I’ve put together a list of “stuff I want on the iPad”.

Maybe you’ll find something that you want in there, too.
