VMware vSphere Client for iPad v1.1 is now available in Apple App Store

VMware vSphere Client for iPad v1.1 is now available in Apple App Store
Srinivas and his team are very excited to announce that v1.1 is now approved by Apple and is available in the App Store right now. Be sure to first get updated vCMA so get the latest version of the backend vCMA server (v1.1) that is required for the new client. You can download the latest vCMA appliance at:
http://labs.vmware.com/flings/vcma.

The biggest "feature" in v1.1 of the client is to support management of ESX and ESXi hosts directly from the iPad without requiring a vCenter server instance.

The list of features and bug fixes in this release are listed below:

New in version 1.1.0
- Support for connecting directly to a vSphere host (resolves Null Pointer Exception)
- Integrated interface to input vCMA server settings and login credentials
- Enhanced version compatibility checks between vSphere iPad application and vCMA server
- Fix for Null Pointer Exception when rebooting a host while the host was in maintenance mode
- Store password, if requested by the user, in the keychain
- Ability to properly scroll the host list in landscape mode
- Sorted host list (by name and grouped by vendor ID)
- Display center ellipsis for long virtual machine names
- Better performance metrics when connecting directly to a vSphere host
- Show “Unavailable” or “PoweredOff” message when unable to obtain performance data for a selected VM
- Reflect available actions correctly, for a selected VM, when an operation was completed
- Ability to cancel 'revert to snapshot' action

Srinivas and his team are already working on v1.2, which will address some more feature requests.
