MobileMe iDisk goes universal, gains multitasking
And, never the twain shall meet, because the iPad can’t multitask. Well, that’s a bit of an exaggeration as Apple’s tablet will gain that functionality in the Fall with the release of iOS 4.1. In the meantime, new and recent iPhone and iPod touch owners can enjoy fast app switching, the ability to play audio from their iDisk and more.
Apple has released MobileMe iDisk 1.2 (iTunes, free), an update of their cloud-based storage client for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. In addition, the update brings multitasking support for devices running iOS 4, as well as integration of outside applications for opening documents and sharing enhancements.
- • Universal app; runs on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
• Multitasking support for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and current generation iPod touch (iOS 4 required)
• Quickly switch to another app and back to iDisk
• Play audio from your iDisk while using another app
• When app is opened, the last file or directory viewed is displayed
• Open to open iDisk documents in compatible apps such as iBooks
• When sharing a file, an email can be sent from any configured email account
• The URL for a shared file can be copied and pasted
• Various stability improvements
MobileMe is Apple’s pay-to-play online storage, mail and sync service that sells for $99 per year. Alternately, if you have an uncle in the business, you get MobileMe for $67 a year…
