Waveboard 2.0 for iPhone submitted
The next release of Waveboard for the iPhone has been submitted to the Apple AppStore for review today. It usually takes about 2 or 3 weeks before the new release will be available in the store. Consider buying it right now, because the price will slightly raise when the new release will be online.
Features
These are the main new features:
- Waveboard can now receive push notifications from the Waveboard robot at xwaveboard.appspot.com.
- Quick Inbox shows a read only list of most recent waves directly after applications launch. Optionally the web view can be loaded in the background.
- Google Account credentials dialog that remembers your log in informations. You can choose to be asked for the password each time the app starts.
- Removed the shake feature, because it is not needed any more.

Push Notifications
