WoW Armory for the iPhone released

Blizzard has just released an official WoW Armory client for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The App features the ability for users to see a number of important things on their iPhone that they normally would be able to get in-game or through use of the official armory site. Some of the major features include:
Some first impressions of the app after the break!
- Character information, including gear, achievements, and specs
- PvP leader boards
- Talent calculators
- Official Blizzard news
- An integrated item browser
- In-game calendars
Some first impressions of the app after the break!
These are some of the first impressions I've had of the app. We'll have more in-depth analysis at a later time.
- You can buy the app via this link if it's not showing up in the app store for you.
- The exact name of the application is "World of Warcraft Mobile Armory". On my iPhone I went and searched "WoW Armory" via the app store and it showed up as the last item in the search results.
- When you open the app for the first time, you are asked to log in. I have a Battle.net enabled account, with an authenticator attached. I entered my Battle.net login information and was then taken to the main screen. I was not asked for my authenticator info. The app also allows you to save your login info for faster access in the future.
- The app requires version 2.2 or later of the iPhone OS. (Note there was some incorrect information here originally that we've since corrected.)
- There are some good animations with the app. When you move to a new page, the current page flips away, like a book page.
- You have a button to immediately return to one of your characters.
- You can easily bookmark other characters for quick viewing.
- Gear viewing and calendar viewing is very very slick.
- Talent calculators are a little sluggish.

Not only is this better than all of the previous apps that were on the iPhone, I'd say the user experience is better than using the armory in a browser on a PC. It is very well put together.

just what i need, another amazing little gadget to help me waste time at work!
the app is great, very fast (mind you just got the 3Gs here in Canada)

Fail. You have to be connected to the Internet for this app to work. Unlike the earlier app Characters, which saved info to your phone so you could look at it offline, WoW Armory must be connected to function at all.

You Lose :D

This is great! I hope they won't charge for it though.
Should be better than the 'Characters' app I have. Keeps crashing... >.

There's the big blue button at the top of Blizzard's page linked in the story. Or just use the standard format iTunes shortcut for any app (remove spaces from name, stick it after /apps/):

You can download it from the app store on your iPhone, easier than using a PC.

Not if you have giant Ninja Turtle fingers and smash three keys at once. So in that case, iPhone fail!
