New Qipit White 3.0.0

February 5th, 2010

Qipit White version 3.0.0 is already available, once more as a free upgrade! The Qipit team was really surprised (and happy) to see this major release accepted by the Apple Review process in no time: it took only few hours before the application changed its status from In Review to Available for Sale.

To summarize, this release brings two important new features: Landscape Support and Copy Rotation.

Landscape Support

Most whiteboard are horizontal, and most copies are made in Landscape mode. For example, the default copy in the application is horizontal. Prior to this new release, rotating the application from portrait mode to landscape mode, by turning the iPhone 90 degrees, had not effect at all. This new version let you enjoy the deck view with all the copies in landscape mode, and more importantly the copy viewer. Try it on the default copy, the whiteboard copy fills up the entire screen as shown below.

Copy Rotation

If you happen to make copies of notepad or flyers, using the phone flat / parallel to the floor, you have probably face the 180 degrees automatic rotation of the photo. This happens when the phone is tilted more than a certain angle, a convenient feature when you take photography vertically, but no so much when you make copy of a document laying on a table. With the new version, no worries if this happens again, process the image into a copy and rotate twice to cancel the 180 degrees effect.

The other use case is the ability to copy an A4/Letter style material holding the phone in landscape mode. This can happen when you try to get the best lighting for the best results or simply for personal preferences. In this case, after the copy is made, simply rotate the result once and you are in business!

In addition to few bug fixes in the application, you will probably notice that the navigation icons are more standard, more iPhone-sque :)

So go ahead, capture and share the world with Qipit White!

Cheers,
