Major Update to the WebCenter Spaces iPhone App
A major update to the WebCenter Spaces iPhone app dropped today. Get the app here, or find the update in iOS if you’re already using it.
I saw a preview of this update a few months ago, and it really is a major update to the first version, which debuted back in July 2010. Congrats to the team that worked on this.
Here are the noteworthy bells and whistles:

- Revamped user interface including a new springboard launcher interface
- Search for People Connections, files on your iOS device and (PS3 only) WebCenter resources on the server

- Clickable links in Activity Streams
- Easy posting to your activity stream, including attachments and camera support
- Improved status update interface in your user profile

- Links to each person’s Manager and Reports, if available
- People Connection Lists to view your Connections more efficiently
- Recommended People Connections via Activity Graph, a new feature in PS3
- Local file system support and support for iOS 4.x “Open In…” feature
- Personal Documents support, both public and private, including the ability to upload, download, and delete
- Printing of documents and web sites via AirPrint
- Mailing documents as an attachment or as a link
- Playback of video and audio files
- Quick posting to a Group Space’s activity stream
- Message Board support for each Space
- Improved Discussions user interface, including forward and back buttons for navigating messages
- Bookmarking your favorite items as icons on the main launcher screens and repositioning icons (for Group Spaces, People, Documents, Document Folders, Discussion Forums, Discussion Topics, and Lists)
- “Quick Note” feature to write text notes or record audio notes and save them in your Personal Documents on the server
- Support for multiple servers through the new Accounts feature – switch quickly between different servers or user credentials
- Support for higher resolution Retina screen graphics and other iOS4.2+ features like printing and backgrounding
The app requires iOS 4.2 or higher and a Patch Set 2 WebCenter Spaces instance or higher. Check out the official documentation for more details.
