Yesterday night we took away the password protection and presented our latest release to a big community of active Twitter users in Hamburg. So we are now officially online, even though we still have to wait for Apple to release our iPhone 3GS App to the App Store.

We are very much anticipating your feedback about this latest version. Feel free to send us comments to all bugs you might discover directly to beta@mov.io - or simply reply to this post.

Thank you,

Oliver & Oliver

Our final release of the iPhone app for the 3GS is beeing checked by the Apple Team these days. Since we all know, this might take from a couple of days to several weeks, we would like to invite you, to betatest our App in the meantime. How does this work?

Simply follow these three easy steps:

1. Find your iPhone UDID

Each iPhone or iPod Touch has a Unique Device Identifier (UDID), which is a sequence of 40 letters and numbers that is specific to your device. It’s like a serial number but much harder to guess. It will look something like this: 2b6f0cc904d137be2e1730235f5664094b831186.

You can easily get it from within your iTunes installation, check this site for a detailed description.

2. Send us your UDID 

Simply drop as an email at beta@mov.io, include your UDID, your email adress and your Twitter username.

3. Install Mov.io Beta

We will send you a zip file, containing the app and a mobile provisioning file. Just drop both items on your iTunes programm symbol and it will be installed on your iPhone 3GS. Now all you need to do is enter your Twitter Username and Password, and you are ready to upload your movies to Mov.io.

Today we finally submitted our iPhone 3GS App into Apples iTunes approval process. Right now it seems to take between 2 and 3 weeks, to get new products into the Appstore. We will keep you updated on the progress.

But more important: What can you do with the application?

It uses either the built in video camera in your iPhone 3GS to capture a video right away or gives you access to all the movies on your library. Choose or capture a file and our application will upload it to the Mov.io plattform.  The text you enter will be tweeted, once the rendering and encoding of the movie has been processed. This takes about 30 to 45 seconds in general. Than your movie is online and a link to it will be added to your tweet. Of course, all movies you capture using our application will be stored on your iPhone, so in the unlikely case of any transmission error, you still have a copy on file.

Keep your fingers crossed, that we will soon be able to provide you a link to download and install the app on your iPhone 3GS.
