I’m really enjoying the new shuffle feature I added to ICHC. I can’t wait to release this update. Since Apple still hasn’t approved the update to the free ad-supported version that I submitted at the same time, I’ll probably release this as an update to the premium version first.

I’ve implemented a much-requested feature for the next update to I Can Has Cheezburger: you can now shake the iPhone for a random LOL. It still has a few issues I need to work on before I release it. Hopefully Apple will approve the free version before I’m ready with the next update.

I’m giving away 5 free promo codes for I Can Has Cheezburger Premium for the first 5 people who reply to this post with a way to contact them.

The 99¢ ad-free version of I Can Has Cheezburger (which I submitted on June 15) is now available for sale. You can find it here. Strangely enough, the free ad-supported version, which I submitted at the same time, still isn’t ready for sale.

The new features in this version are:

• Use Cheezburger API to submit LOLs to ICanHasCheezburger.com
• Fixed non-working movies by embdding them in a web page, which can be clicked, rather than opening the URL directly
• Saves current item for all sites.
• Rewrote XML code to use NSXMLParser rather than a document-based parser.
• Massive code cleanup.
• Images are cached for faster viewing
• Added Once Upon A Win
• Ads from Collider (only in the free version, not in the 99¢ version)

For the next release I plan to add the ability to shake your iPhone for a random image, support for OS 3.0’s mail UI to send LOLs rather than switching to mail.app to send a URL.

I also plan to add support for authenticated access to I Can Has Cheezburger so LOLs you create will be attributed to your screen name on ICHC, and most likely a way to access your favorites. I’m considering making this feature available only in the premium version.
