Cartoon Studio version 1.2.5 is now available in the App Store.  A small update with some minor, but welcome additions:

• Speech Bubbles can now have the arrows on top, to allow for more flexible positioning.
• You can now access a #CartoonStudio twitter search from the main menu to view other people’s cartoons right from within the app.

• Supports iPhone 4 retina display with new icons and speech bubbles (the published cartoon is still currently 420pixels however)
• Uploading cartoons to twitter or your blog can continue in the background on devices that support multitasking (3GS, iph4 with iOS4).
• Improved speech bubble keyboard handling with smart Auto Capitalisation (only on a new sentence, not a new line)
• Fixed an issue that could occur when using Own Photos, resulting in the message “Your Art Packs are corrupt” when they weren’t.
• Fixed an issue where viewing a cartoon could start half way down, or at the end of the cartoon.
• Watermark is on by default, but can be turned off in settings.
• Sending feedback in the app now adds version, device type, iOS version and memory capacity to the email to assist with issue diagnostics.
