Retriever v1.1 App available now

We are pleased to announce that the 1.1 version of the Rover Retriever application is now available from the iTunes App Store.

This release is built for iOS 4 and includes support for background processing when a user is retrieving large files.

So if your request for that big contract document is taking a long time to come down using an EDGE network, you can switch apps on iOS 4 and perform another task, meanwhile Retriever will continue to download the large PDF in the background.

I live at the periphery of decent 3G networks, so I often find that I’m downloading things on EDGE (which is a lot slower), so this feature comes in very handy for me, even when documents or payloads are not that big, but big enough to take a minute or so to arrive.

The other benefit Retriever offers is that if you lose connection to the cell service (not uncommon), and you were in the middle of downloading a 6MB PDF, is that Retriever will pick up right where it left off as soon as data connectivity is re-established.

This resilience and robustness are part of the distinct advantages of our Patent Pending RoverLink technology. Which when combined with smart client features, allows for very reliable and user-friendly mobile information exchanges.
