- Additional performance and reliability improvements.iMovie for iOS debuted (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/06/24/imovie-for-iphone-4-released-into-app-store/) nearly a year ago for the iPhone 4, with support for the fourth-generation iPod touch being added (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/09/08/imovie-1-1-for-ios-adds-4th-generation-ipod-touch-compatibility-video-clip-splitting-and-more/) last September at that device's launch.

The iPod touch and iPhone version still feels very scant and undeserving of the price tag. Apple should realize this.

Did you get the last update then? It was a MUCH needed improvement compared to the very first iMovie release. However, the very first release was pretty slick. The second update added much more to it. I owned iMovie for my iPhone 4 since it was first released.

Yes I did. But I still feel it is too stripped down. And it is close to impossible to put more than a few pictures without getting irritated. I think they should let users put pictures in faster instead of having to wait to load the picture library every time for every single picture. That's the biggest issue for me.

I didn't get any update from Apple here in Austrian App Store. Neither for Garage Band, nor for iMovie. Neither on Mac/iTunes, nor on iDevices. It's the first time afair that MR announces something and the updates aren't out here.

Edit: There was some hick-up in the update function obviously. When I closed the App Store app (iPad 2) and opened again: Voilà, here are the updates! (Edit #2: They vanished again, will show up when I search for the App => button "Update".) In Mac/iTunes the updates still not show up. Never mind… I am sure I'll get them sooner or later…

i wonder if they fixed the ability to use garageband audio in imovie w/o having to do the work around.. should be there by default.. im downloading the update now will try it later today..

my question, can it import a song made in GarageBand for the iPad? (without a sync to the desktop?).

Isn't that the case for any app? That was the point of the whole sandbox thing right?
