6ix Passions

Last time, I wrote about how I was disappointed about the Tumblr iPhone App as it didn’t been updated since its creation. My most requested feature update would be to be able to edit my posts on the go natively on the iPhone.

Sounds the update is on it’s way with plenty of other features :

• 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.

The update is so complete now, that it is a whole new version to me. It should probably been called Tumblr iPhone 2.0.

Thank-you Tumblr, and more importantly thank-you Jeff
