New Flixwagon iPhone app updates: special EDGE setting, live chat, design tweaks, and more

A few great upgrades today for our iPhone 2.0.x version:

1. New EDGE-friendly and high resolution settings: we added a new setting specifically for Edge connections with lower video quality but much faster upload time. Very useful when you're out and about, both on original iPhone and iPhone 3G (which tends to jump back to Edge every so often). We also added a Still Items setting, for showing higher resolution, yet mostly-still items like pictures or presentations while capturing sound. The original settings still include high frame rate broadcast (for videos with motion), and high resolution (for sharper frames).



2. Chat function: you can now see chat messages from your viewers directly on the iPhone screen. When viewers on Flixwagon.com comment on your video while you're broadcasting, the messages will appear on your screen.




3. New app design (see above).


To get the updated app, go to Cydia or Installer 4 on your iPhone 3G/2.0.1, refresh "Changes" (Cydia) or "Sources" (Installer), and follow the upgrade instructions. You may need to restart your phone to see our new icon. To install the app from scratch use the following instructions: http://flixwagon.com/pickphone/IPhone/.
