Michael Jackson - Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough

testing a post and how it integrates with FF and Twitter.

I saw the other day that Instapaper Pro was on sale. This definitely peeked my interest into buying the Pro version instead of being my frugal self, and sticking with the free version. But, the more I looked into it, the more I considered buying it. Especially due to the fact that 2.0 was coming out shortly. And I wanted some of those updates.

I can honestly say though, that I don’t use the app all that much. This is no shortcoming of the app, it’s just that I will mark stuff to read later, but then it just sits there and I don’t follow up. So, that is my own shortcoming.

However, yesterday I decided to take the dive. I had a balance on my iTunes account from a Christmas gift card. I did it. I clicked BUY. Then, after syncing my iPhone after work, I noticed there was an app that needed updating. It was Instapaper 2.0!! What great timing. I only had a chance to tinker with it a bit last night before going to bed, but man is it awesome! Especially the tilt reading. Marco, good call on being able to turn it off and on. I love how it knows what angle the phone is at when you enable. 2.0 definitely makes me want to read on my iPhone more now. Thank you Marco for a phenomenal product.

And can you believe, there is even more to come!

Coming soon in 2.1: In-app email, a robust Sharing panel, and tons of interface and stability improvements courtesy of iPhone OS 3.0. (I’m never done!) And, of course, this will be a free upgrade for all Instapaper Pro customers.
