37signals has just released Campfire for iPhone [iTunes link], a free native iOS app that lets you connect to your Campfire network on the go.
If the app looks familiar, it’s because 37signals purchased the app from Overcommitted, who released it under its old name, Ember. Ember has long been one of my favorite apps for the iPhone (earning a place on my home screen) and it’s great that it is now an official part of the 37signals family.
If you were an Ember user, you won’t notice any interface variations (other than the initial login and the new icon, which we must say we don’t like as much as Ember’s), but that’s not a bad thing at all.
In fact, what made Ember worth its former $10 asking price was that the app was easy to use, and that adding links, files or images has always been a snap.
Our hope is that under 37signals’s tutelage, Campfire for iPhone will be expanded to support iOS 4, push notifications and maybe even a native iPad update. If you use Campfire to connect with your team and you have an iPhone, this app is a must-have.
