How About an iPhone/iTouch Front-End App for Google Wave? It's Here!
Yes, we already posted about a new iPhone/iTouch app today (NASA Images) but like they say, one iPhone App deserves another, especially on the weekend.
Here's an iPhone/iTouch app that some people have been asking for.
The price? 99 cents. So, if you don't like the app and/or don't see a need for it (or Google Wave in general), you're not out a great deal of $$$.
According to the iPhone/iTouch home page for Waveboard is allows you to:
+ Shake your phone with the app running will provide access to reload or logout features.
+ Have website links shown in an integrated browser
+ Allows pages can be "handed off" to Safari
+ Have the option to use landscape view
Perhaps the most interesting and useful feature in this release is push notifications. This page and the embedded video shows that it's a fast and simple operation to get everything running.
Here's an overview:
From the outset, Google Wave "push" is only available if you use the Mac version of Waveboard (free)
You'll need
1) An app named Prowl which can do a bunch of things beyond Waveboard installed on both your iPhone.The Prowl home page shows many positive comments from well-known iPhone app reviewers. It costs $2.99 and even if you give up on Waveboard, as we said a moment ago, Prowl has several other uses.
So, if you just want to test Google Wave on iPhone/iTouch you can spend $.99 and be up and running in no time. Of course, you'll also need one a Google Wave login.
If you want to enable Google Wave push notifications (only available at this time for Mac), it's another $2.99 and a few more minutes of your time. It's really not difficult.
