Apps & updates: BBC iPlayer, imo.im, MOG, Adobe Proto, more

Aside from our full list of interesting apps and updates hitting the App Store this morning, Hulu is making “Kill Bill: Volume 1” available to stream free (you can get Hulu Plus free for two months here). We will continue to update the list of apps below throughout the day:

BBC iPlayer version 1.3.2: BBC’s streaming app for its TV and radio networks received a nice update today that brings updated graphics for Retina iPads, improved video playback performance, enhanced Voice Over controls, and the usual bug fixes and performance updates.

imo instant messenger version 3.2: The popular instant messaging app with more than 700,000 users and 50 million messages sent daily was updated this morning with one big new feature previously only available to Android users: voice calling over Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G. All users running iOS 3.1 and up can now make free calls to their imo contacts with no usage of cell minutes and no data usage over Wi-Fi.

TweetBot version 0.7.0: TweetBot for Mac beta has been given a nice update, adding the ability to edit your Twitter profile within the app, animated .gif support, and Storify support among even more features. Due to Sandboxing issues, you will need to manually install the update.

MOG version 2.1.33: Online music subscription service MOG, home to roughly 16 million songs and 500,000 paid subscribers, was recently acquired by Beats Electronics. Its iOS app received a decent update today, with the ability to create and edit playlists, as well as a new album reviews section, and a “better, stronger, faster interface.”

Adobe Proto version 1.5: Adobe’s prototyping app for creating wireframe prototypes of apps and websites was updated today with a few notable features. A full list of what’s new in the update including email and Dropbox sharing, navigation improvements, and more is below:

What’s New in Version 1.5

Email your interactive wireframes(html.zip) as an attachment. Share interactive wireframes via Dropbox and other Apps,
Paste and Pin objects across selected pages (i.e. share objects across pages), Copy & Paste objects to different pages, Use the Menu bar objects as Global Menu across all pages, Pin wireframe objects across all pages, Z-order change via Context Menu, Lock and Unlock objects for editing,
Show current page name while previewing a project in the App, the ability to rename a project in the action bar(title)of the editor and show the undo/redo count

Enhancements:
– Objects can snap to both CSS Column and Design Grid
– Better Code Generation
– Code generation is ordered according to the appearance in the page and so is now more structured hierarchically
– All pinned objects generate a separate common CSS file (common.css)

Digg version 3.0.1: The new Digg iPhone app just received another update following its big Digg 3.0 introduction. Today’s update includes the ability to save to Pocket, Instapaper, or Digg Reading List without signing into Facebook, a new “Popular” section, and a number of bug fixes.
