We’re happy to say that Cooliris for iPhone is back in the iTunes Store! To learn more about the app, see our previous blog article or our website.

If you’ve been following the goings on of Cooliris for iPhone for the last few days, you know about the issue with Apple’s firmware v.2.1, which affected a small number of applications during the uninstall process. Fortunately, our engineers were able to figure out a workaround quickly and we were able to submit a new version to Apple. And, Apple was kind enough to expedite the approval process.

So go download the app now and let us know what you think of it. We’re so sorry for the recent confusion and sincerely hope you enjoy Cooliris for iPhone.
