Hi, I like Apples

I have submitted a new update for my application What’s My IP? on the iTunes App Store. With this update, the application has been completely revamped to include device information in addition to just the IP Address. Two completely new features let you get the IP address from a hostname online and check the reachability of a website/server by typing in the IP address or hostname.

With this post, I want to give you a sneak peak of the application so you can know what’s to come for the application. Check out the description from the App Store below and the screenshots below that. I anticipate that this application will become live on the App Store next week as I submitted it last weekend. I will post (and tweet) when the application goes live.

Info from the App Store
The iPhone/iPod touch application that was the first on the App Store to provide IP Address checking for your Apple iOS device has swiftly become the tool for network administrators, small business IT departments, and home network users with version 3.0.

Version 3.0 of What’s My IP provides users with important information about their network and accessing device. With a single tap, you can find out your IP Address, Device Name, and Device Type.

New with version 3.0 is the ability to get the IP address of a hostname on the Internet or your local network. Simply tap the Hostname tab to begin. Type in a hostname, click “Get IP Address,” and the address is presented to you quickly and easily. No fussing with other services that can often take extra time to navigate to.

Version 3.0 also comes with a server reachability checker that you can use while on your local wireless network or abroad on either EDGE or 3G. By tapping on the Reachability tab, you can check to see if the server hostname or IP address you type in is available online. If the server is online, you will see ONLINE presented; if the server cannot be reached, OFFLINE will be presented. This check happens almost instantly, keeping you from having to mess with Mobile Safari or other online services.

Now you can see why What’s My IP 3.0 is becoming the swiss army knife of network administrators. This application provides you with the network tools you need at an affordable price.

Don’t let your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad be without one of the best networking tools available for iOS devices.
