New Features and a New Leaflet!

August 14th, 2007 at 7:46 a.m.

We’ve got some new goodies for Leaflets users and I’m thrilled to tell you about them.

After the narrowest margin in the race’s history, Le Tour de France is officially over so we’re retiring the Leaflet until next year. But don’t feel sad—we’re replacing it with a brand new Leaflet: Baseball!

This Leaflet is really great! You can check up to the minute scores and information, including base load, outs, inning and the current batter, as well as the results from finished games and the day’s upcoming schedule. And while you’re waiting for your games to start you can check MLB news. We think this is going to be a very useful Leaflet for baseball fans. While ESPN takes over a minute to load over EDGE, our Baseball Leaflet can load in as little as 10 seconds. Whew!

Another new feature: the App List Leaflet—we heard your feature request and we’ve added the ability to create your own favorites list! As you browse the list, click the “Add to Favorites” icon to keep your own shortlist of apps you’ll use most frequently. This is a really great way to launch from Leaflets to your other favorite iPhone apps. And, since our App List allows people to rate and comment on apps, you’ll always be able to find the best and brightest iPhone apps available.

Finally, the last of the major additions: The Feeds Leaflet can now auto-detect feeds from sites, so you no longer have to know the exact feed URL. Just enter in, say, digital-web.com and it will sniff out the feed for you.

And, of course, we’ve made lots of little improvements and bugfixes throughout. We’ve done even more compression and simplification to keep everything loading super fast, even over EDGE. We hope you enjoy the new features. Feel free to keep sending us your feedback and suggestions.

You can check out all these improvements on your iPhone or from your desktop at getleaflets.com
