Th e app itself is in the store already. If you mean the new version Mike mentions above, then I don't know, but it's already submitted.

hi guys!
we just submitted a new version of the app that's 3.0 compatible (and also fixed a couple bugs/crashes). we hope to see it in the app store soon 🙂

Patrick, the one feature that is missing for MobileMe is PUSH NOTIFICATIONS!!! I still don't understand why Apple has not implemented a Push Notification setup for MobileMe email. I would love to get a push alert showing me a part of the e-mail. To me it's a no brainer…..

From: Arash F.Dropboxer
hi guys,
thank's so much for all the praise and downloads (over 75k installs in the 24 hours after launch! 🙂

this is just the 1.0 and we realize there are many, many features to add and bugs to fix (zoom in photos, folder favoriting, etc etc :). we also hear you loud and clear on the 3.0 restriction. we didn't realise it'd create such an uprising!

we opted for 3.1 because API methods related to saving videos was not available on 3.0. this meant that videos taken within the app would be permanently lost in the event of a flaky/slow internet connection. this happened to us enough in testing that we felt it wasn't a risk we wanted to expose to our users.

that said, it looks like there's a workaround that'll allow us to protect against this for 3.1 users while still allowing 3.0 users to use the app. we're hoping to get a quick maintenance release out with a few small bug fixes + 3.0 support.

please continue to provide feedback – we're listening!

I think it feels a tad pricy, but that is more about me not making good use of all the features. For those who really use most or all of them, it's probably a pretty fair price. I am honestly mostly keeping it for the Find My Phone and testing other bits occasionally or as any iPhone-related things come along.

That was funny but I totally agree. I just renewed my subscription to MobileMe & sometimes I wonder why…. Apple really does owe us an update for MobileMe when we are paying that kind of money every year. I think Steve Jobs laughs @ us all every year for renewing. LOL

That would be a good addition.

Hopefully, that will come in an update…

That would be fantabulous if MobileMe and iDisk could get as good as Dropbox – would almost feel worth the $99 I dropped again recently to renew it 🙂 Wait, that can't be right – because I'm the guy who cares about $3 – and that means I refuse to pay for my coffee and work for minimum wage and so forth 🙂

They need to add the pinch & zoom feature to the pictures. Overall a really nice app 🙂 MobileMe & iDisk should take a lesson from DropBox.
