I'll also make sure to post a message here once the version is ready.

Presumably the iStore will automatically show that an update is available?

Re: Viber - anyone tried it?!
I have a question. I have an iphone 3g and my sister in Ireland has an iphone 4g. We have been using Viber to call each other. I have wifi at home and always call her from home. She does not have wifi at home so only connects to wifi when she is out shopping, in gym etc.
If I call her when her phone is not connected to wifi, does she have to pay for the call???

She has to use data on her mobile network in that case. If she has a data allowance then she'll probably not pay anything extra. If she doesn't or has exceeded her paid for data allowance she could be paying some scary amount per Mb.

Thank you, thats what I thought, dont think she has much data allowance so I wonder what the costs of viber are if she has exceeded this.

Hard to say...as obviously its all about the data, you're not paying Viber anything. I really don't know what sort of bandwidth is involved, I think when I record online radio it's something like 1Mb every 2 minutes...that MIGHT be a fair approximation. Data is normally cheap to add, might be worth looking at the plan.

1. Viber doesn't benefit a penny from that data usage. Viber itself is completely free - what you MIGHT pay for is your cellular data usage.
2. Viber uses about 250KB/min each way, which is about 0.5MB/min total.
