Whiteboard Lite: Collaborative Drawing

NEW INFO:

* This update adds compatibility with iPhone OS 2.0 and higher.

* Whiteboard should still say simply "Whiteboard" under its icon.

* You can adjust your line width with the slider above the colors in the tools view. Touch the canvas with 2 fingers to bring up this view.

* Whiteboard Pro: Collaborative Drawing is now available. Along with tons of other new features, you can open pics and draw on them!

* If you have some feedback and would like a response, email us at whiteboard@greengar.com

----------------

Whiteboard is a new collaborative drawing tool that allows 2 iPhone or iPod touch devices to create pictures together over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth peer-to-peer.

----------------

NEW FOR iPHONE OS 3.0: Bluetooth Peer-to-Peer Networking
Whiteboard is fully compatible with this new feature of the latest iPhone OS. This works on the iPod touch 2nd gen, iPhone 3G, and the iPhone 3G S.

For best results, follow these steps if you want to connect using Bluetooth (no access point required!):

* Note: You should follow this procedure on both devices you want to connect. *

1. Launch the Settings app.
2. Tap Wi-Fi, and turn Wi-Fi OFF. (We'll use Bluetooth instead. On some devices, Wi-Fi can conflict with Bluetooth.)
3. Go back one screen to Settings, and tap General.
4. Tap Bluetooth, and turn Bluetooth ON.
5. Press the Home button to quit Settings, and launch Whiteboard.

* Note: You can safely ignore the warning that says "Not Connected to a Wi-Fi Network" -- just tap OK! *

6. Wait until BOTH devices see each other in their own list.
7. On ONE of the devices, tap the name of the other device.
8. Wait up to 30-60 seconds. The first resolve takes the longest; if you disconnect and reconnect after this, it should be much faster. This is a hardware/OS limitation.

That's it! Enjoy drawing together over Bluetooth peer-to-peer.

----------------

Create unique art with this useful utility. Sometimes one person's artistic skills aren't quite enough. Combine your painting abilities with Whiteboard! It's a fun app with many potential uses.

In addition to the chance to draw together, the peer-to-peer networking feature also enables a certain class of multiplayer games, like Connect 4, Tic-Tac-Toe, Dots, and more.

It's also useful for quickly visualizing ideas: I used it myself this way, putting into visible form an icon layout I had in mind. It's almost like using a graphics tablet!

The possibilities are endless; it's like having a whiteboard wherever you go.

KEY FEATURES:

* Easy-to-use paint- or graffiti-like interface.
* Two devices can draw on the same canvas simultaneously.
* Bonjour wireless networking, both over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth peer-to-peer.
* Full-screen drawing.
* Adjustable marker width.
* "Brush" Preview to see what you're getting before you start sketching.
* Compatible with both iPhones and iPod touches.
* Free! This is the Lite version of Whiteboard; we're still working on adding features for the paid version.

TIPS:

* Touch the canvas with 2 fingers to show the drawing tools.
* To use the networking feature, 2 devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network, or both have Bluetooth turned ON. Ensure that both devices are connected to the same wifi access point so that you can connect!
* Note: This is a Bonjour limitation. (In fact, as long as you're on the same LAN the connection may work.) We'll work on lifting it (Internet drawing?) in the future.

* With version 1.2, you can save drawings with the new "Save" button!

* Get Whiteboard PRO: Collaborative Drawing to submit your masterpieces to our new online gallery!
