Apple Updates Mobile iDisk App with iPad and iOS 4 Support

If you’re a MobileMe user, then you might be happy to know this: Apple has just updated the iDisk app to include native support for the iPad and iOS 4’s multitasking.

You can now quickly switch from iDisk to another app, go back and find the app exactly where you left off. You can also stream audio in the background (useful if you store your music library in the cloud)  and open files in other apps that support that type of document, such as iBooks. Also, there are some major stability improvements. The app is available here.

Check out the full changelog and screenshots after the break.

Designed for both iPhone and iPad

Multitasking support for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS (iOS 4 required).

- Quickly switch to another app and back to iDisk

- Play audio from your iDisk while using another app

When app is opened, the last file or directory viewed is displayed
