As part of ������ú’s commitment to being a leader in mobile applications for higher education, ������ú Information Technology has released an updated iPhone app (version 1.2) offering clearer, faster and easier access to information about the college. With the new app, users now have immediate access to hundreds of ������ú videos on . In addition, the app streams up to 40 per semester over both 3G and wireless networks.

This is the second major update to the original iPhone app. The app was authored by Philip Walton, ������ú mobile and Web developer. “I completely rewrote the app from scratch,” says Walton.  “Now it loads much faster, and it’s far more responsive.”

Other improvements include a campus map that allows users to zoom in to specific buildings. The faculty/staff directory has been redesigned and is similar to the iPhone’s built-in contact list. The update also works with the iPhone 4’s higher-resolution display, includes several popular features found in other apps, such as the pull down refresh, and has a fully configurable menu to allow users quick access to the various features on the app.

The new app can be downloaded for free by searching for ������ú in the iTunes store.
