Dolphin iPhone-iPad-iPod-Android Apps v.1.7 Released!

Just as most of the web pundits predicted, mobile browsing is overtaking desktop. Facebook officially acknowledged that their US mobile traffic surpassed desktop traffic for the first time. Virtually all of it comes from native iOS and Android Apps. We have been focusing on native mobile apps for Dolphin for a long while now and gradually they are maturing into a platform in it's own right - with support of 3rd party modules and with more and more core Dolphin functionality.

Today, we're happy to announce updates to both the Dolphin for Android and Dolphin for iOS (universal app). Both are v.1.7 now and both are available for download at iTunes and Google Play respectively. 

As always, if you have a Mobile License (comes with Prime package) you can have the source code of both apps, rebrand them and submit to iTunes and gPlay as your own.

What's New

We have refreshed the design a bit, updated icons, and fixed known bugs, but most importantly the process of adding sites and logging-in has been streamlined. This is also coupled with integration of Facebook login (which is now supported on OS level both by Android and iOS), thus for the first time creating an opportunity for people to start using Dolphin websites via mobile apps without initially joining them through a browser.

Note, that Facebook login will only work with Dolphin 7.1.1+ sites, so please wait a week or so for that one. On to the lists and screenshots...
