With the new iPhone OS 3.0 being released today, we here at BeefyApps have been busy updating BeefyBoard: iPhone Soundboard for use with OS 3.0. We’ve found that some of the sound features that worked in OS 2.2.1 were no longer compatible with OS 3.0, specifically recording a sound to the phone and then switching back to playback.

With a little bit of work we’ve fixed these problems and have submitted the new app for approval. The new version should be available to download early next week if the approval process goes smoothly. We’ve also taken the opportunity to add more features to BeefyBoard that will make it the best iPhone Soundboard out there.

What this means to existing users of BeefyBoard and those that purchase it within the next few days is that if you upgrade to OS 3.0, some of the functionality of the app will be broken until you update to the new version of BeefyBoard (when it becomes available on iTunes).

New Features in Version 1.1

• Added Skin Comments

• Added Settings Controls
  • Enable/Disable skin affinity
  • Shake sensitivity
• Added Upload Progress Bar

Recently, we at BeefyApps, have been working hard at the next release of our iPhone Soundboard.  Some of our early adopters mentioned we could raise the coolness level by allowing people to create soundboards using the internet.

Now that the bulk of application code has been written for our upcoming v1.1 release, we turned our attention to the website to facilitate uploading of sound files.  Our efforts paid off, as we now support soundboard upload.  Upload some audio files, and in about five minutes your board will be available on all iPhones with the BeefyBoard installed.

People have been busy creating and uploading iPhone soundboards for others to use.  Here is a list of some of the  soundboards currently available for free download from inside BeefyBoard: The iPhone Soundboard.

• Arnold Schwarzenegger Soundboard
• Bruce Lee Soundboard
• Conan the Barbarian Soundboard
• Napoleon Dynamite Soundboard
• Homer Simpson Soundboard
• Pulp Fiction – Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) Soundboard
• Beatbox Soundboard
• Piano C1 and C2 Octave Soundboard
• Guitar C1 Octave Soundboard

I want to also mention that BeefyBoard will work on 2nd generation iPod touch as well.  Remember, if you want to submit any custom skins you’ve created, you can do so at www.beefyapps.com.

After two months of hard work in our spare time, we are proud to inform you that our iPhone soundboard application BeefyBoard: The iPhone Soundboard is now available for purchase at the iTunes Store.  There are lots of iPhone soundboards available but we believe that our application has some unique features that makes it stand out.  For example our iPhone soundboard application allows you to create your own soundboards.  You can upload the soundboards you’ve created to share with others and download the soundboards that others have created for you own fun and amusement.  BeefyBoard also has built in skin support for changing how the buttons look on the soundboard.

Here is the complete feature list:

• Play multiple sounds at the same time.
• Record your own iPhone soundboards.
• Upload your soundboards to the web right from the iPhone to share with your friends.
• Download soundboards to expand your library.
• Customize the look through downloadable skins.
• Create your own skins and upload them to our website for others to download.
• Shake to amuse (plays random sounds).
• Less than 10 ms playback means instant sound.
• Works on the iPod touch.
