Apple’s iDisk app updated for iOS 4

By | July 6, 2010, 1:21pm PDT

Summary: Apple today released an updated version of its MobileMe iDisk app that supports the iPad and iOS 4.0.

Apple today released an updated version (v.1.2) of its MobileMe iDisk app (free, App Store) that supports the iPad and iOS 4.0.

The updated iDisk is a universal app, meaning that the same app can run on both the iPhone and the iPad. The killer feature is multitasking support when running iOS 4, which allows you to quickly switch to another app and back to iDisk. When you re-open the app the last file or directory you were viewing is displayed.

Other new features include the ability to play audio from your iDisk in the background while using another app and to open documents stored on your iDisk in compatible apps such as iBooks (PDFs) and Pages, Numbers and Keynote files in their associated apps.

Version 1.2 also allows you to email a file on your iDisk from any email account that’s configured on your device where previously it had to come from your MobileMe account.

A nice upgrade all around.

Biography

Jason D. O'Grady

Jason D. O'Grady developed an affinity for Apple computers after using the original Lisa, and this affinity turned into a bona-fide obsession when he got the original 128 KB Macintosh in 1984.

He started writing one of the first Web sites about Apple (O'Grady's PowerPage) in 1995 and is considered to be one of the fathers of blogging. He has been a frequent speaker at the Macworld Expo conference and a member of the conference faculty. He also co-founded the first dedicated PowerBook User Group (PPUG) in the United States.

After winning a major legal battle with Apple in 2006, he set the precedent that independent journalists are entitled to the same protections under the First Amendment as members of the mainstream media.

O'Grady is the author of The Nexus One Pocket Guide, The Droid Pocket Guide, The Google Phone Pocket Guide, and The Garmin nuvi Pocket Guide (Peachpit Press), the author of Corporations That Changed the World: Apple Inc. (Greenwood Press), and a contributor to The Mac Bible (Peachpit Press). In addition, he has contributed to numerous Mac publications over the years, including MacWEEK, Macworld, and MacPower (Japan).

When he's not writing about Apple for ZDNet at The Apple Core, he enjoys spending time with his family in New Jersey.
