eBay’s iPhone app gets new interface, quick sign-up with Drivers License scanning, iPad app gets enhancements
eBay’s iPhone application has received a significant update that affects both the user-interface and some core features.
Notably, the application’s interface has been tweaked for simplicity and features an improved bidding process for soon-to-be-ending auctions, larger photo views, and the ability to checkout multiple items simultaneously in the United States and United Kingdom.
Perhaps the most interesting and handy feature, though, is the ability to quickly sign-up for an eBay account by scanning your Drivers License with the iPhone’s camera. eBay owns high-profile barcode scanning technology, so perhaps that is used to make that new feature a reality. The free update is available on iTunes.
eBay’s (separate) iPad app also got a notable update today: release notes below.
