Since last August users of the popular smartphone Apple iPhone can download and install a dedicated app that brings PRTG to their phone. We have received a lot of feedback and requests for enhancements. During the last months our partner company beyond content went back into their labs and actually rewrote the whole app from scratch! New development tools for the iPhone and some new API calls on behalf of PRTG's API allowed the developers to come up with an app that just blows you away! So today I am happy to announce the new version 2 of iPRTG. See iPRTG 2 in  action - start the video!
