New iPhone dictionary release

We got this one out the door ahead of schedule for once, but it contains some long awaited features. This release has been about making the dictionary more friendly as an iOS application, making day-to-day usage faster and easier.

First up is support for rotation and landscape mode. This really has been an oversight on our part and is now finally done :D

Second is the support for iOS 4 features, primarily multitasking. Multitasking is a great boon for the dictionary. It is now easy to access while browsing, listening to podcasts, reading pdfs, etc.

We've also added a copy button on the detail page for quick copying of the Arabic and English word to the pasteboard.

There's now an overlay over the word table when there are nothing to display from the dictionary. We think this is a bit better than just having an empty list.

We also wanted to automatically switch to the Arabic keyboard for you when switching to the dictionary. This is currently not possible due to restrictions in the iPhone operating systems. Maybe some day in the future though ;)

Hope you enjoy this release! We're now back to planning some cool new features more concerned with the Arabic language.

Support mail outage

Regrettably our mail service went down two weeks ago, and since I was out traveling most of that time it took quite some time to get it back up again.

It should all be back in order now. But if you've tried to contact the support email address and not received a response please contact us again!
