Tumblr iPhone 1.1 Sneak Peek

Now that 1.1 has been submitted to the App Store, I figured everyone would like to know what’s coming in the new version. Here’s a preview!

Video posts. Choose from your camera roll or capture a new video right from the app (iPhone 3GS only).

Native editing. Need to add tags or update a post on the go? Just tap the ‘edit’ button on a post in the Dashboard to load it up in a native post editor.

Search. Supports searching across Tumblr, in your Dashboard or on just your posts.

Built-in web browser. No more losing your place when you tap a link in Dashboard. Now a web browser will pop up and let you investigate the interwebs.

Post upload status. Never wonder how long it’s going to take that Audio post to upload again.

Post geotagging. Even I’m not sure what this is for, but I’m sure that it’s going to be awesome.

Rewritten Dashboard tab (replaces the Sites tab). See all your posts from each of your blogs, including drafts and queues.

Rewritten Advanced Post Options. New support for Save as draft, Add to Queue, Publish on, Custom post URL’s, Send to Twitter and Ask a question.

Dashboard now only reloads on command. Not every time you tap the tab. Sorry about that one :P

Better quality photo posts. Photos are now sent with less compression.

New bookmarklet format for links. More info coming once 1.1 goes live.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where a post that has been saved for later can become corrupted.
• Fixed a bug where Photo posts can cause crashes.
• Fixed memory leaks.

There’s even more, but most of it is stuff you won’t see. Much of the core of the application was rewired, re-factored, re-plumbed, simplified and enhanced. The end result being a snappier, more flexible code base that’s ready for all the stuff coming in 1.2 and beyond.

We’ll let you know once it goes live on the App Store!

I thought this was, yeah, cool before I had an iPhone. Now that I actually have one again and I see the limitations of the current App, well, my god I want it.
