Today is a good day! Mark Rock and the team at Best Before have dodged and weaved their way around the Apple App Store Police to launch the first version of AudioBoo. Not only is it a great tool but one our first 4iP commissions to see the light of day. Head to the app store now to download it for free!
As you may already know AudioBoo is an application for recording and sharing your audio with the world. The built in microphone allows you to create audio up to 3 minuets in length and post it to the web. You can easily wrap the audio in a rich layer of metadata by adding titles, text, geo-location and a photo.
From a 4iP perspective I hope it empowers users to better create audio journalism or first person narratives as well as makes it easier to find this type of information on the web.
Needless to say it’s V1. A huge step but there’s a tonne of work to do on the application itself, the API and other tricks Best Before have up their digital sleeves. Keep your eyes out for updates.
Once again a huge congratulations to the Best Before team. They’ve done an amazing job.

Hi - Just followed the link and found this is an iPhone/iTouch application. Looks good, but is there a web based version?

Wowie, the app sounds very useful, can u get it on anything other than O2*?
Indeed, is there a downloadable mac/PC version?
Is ‘O2 customers only’ a large enough demigraphic for the project to be considered
‘public service’. This app sounds very useful for people learning to be a journalist, but what students can afford a £35 x18(months) and a £200-300 iphone,
What other platforms is this app intended for?
PEACE
