**NOTE: We had to filter some of our galleries to comply with Apple, you can find the unfiltered content by pointing Mobile Safari to our webapp: http://mobile.sciphone.net
 
Wow, I had no idea you had an app for that! ::no pun intended:: I have been going to the site on the iPhone but will definitely be getting the app now.
 
Just received an e-mail from Apple:

Our iOS 4 Compatibility update is in review! I just tested our app with the new iPhone 4, and the wallpapers look noticeably better even though they're 320x480.

We're working on an update to include HD ( 640x960 ) wallpapers through Sciphone Wallpapers, stay tuned!
 
Heads up gang!

iOS 4 update is LIVE! This update allows for fast app switching and multitasking. We will be submitting our iPhone 4 Wallpaper support in the next few days. Stay tuned!
 
Can't wait until the high res iPhone 4 wallpapers are supported.

Will there be a separate tab for the iPhone 4 wallpapers in the same app? Because I don't want to have them mixed together .. I only want to DL the high res ones .. the old iPhone wallpapers are pretty much useless to me.

When the user launches the app it will auto-detect their device, if it's an iPhone 4, a message will popup telling them HD wallpapers are enabled. on the home tab, there will be a new toggle switch to jump between 640x960 and 320x480 wallpapers ( they're not gonna be mixed together. )

That sounds odd. What content would Apple have objected to?

Well you'd be surprised... movie studios, movie posters, apple logos, overly sexual content, brands, the list goes on. It took weeks of back and forth with Apple before they allowed us onto the App Store.

We do however offer unfiltered galleries through our webapp : http://mobile.sciphone.net

Enjoy!

Will you ever make some of the female galleries on mobile.sciphone.net high res to take advantage of the iPhone 4 screen?

Didn't get the popup and on the Home Tab there is no choice toggle. Just downloaded and it's ver 1.04.

Also why not iAds? I still want to see one.:eek:
