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.
