BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) for Twitter has been run its closed beta for awhile now, but version 1.0.0.37 has been leaked, and is available for download for whoever wants to spring it a tailspin. Aside from the indigen messages pamphlet integrating and push-degree direct messages, there ar a few new features – most noticeable is the inclusion of a Lists tab, which enables you to survey and edit your lists of following. Lists ar a life buoy, especially for mobile when you it tin be a real painful sensation comb through your stallion feed of incoming tweets for something particular. Viewing individual users within the app will allow you to view their lists as wellspring as subscribe to or recommend them to others.
Aside from that, there are a few nice tweaks, like Messages leaning notifications of @ replies (not just Direct Messages), the ability to change your font, viewing full-size Twitter avatars, profile redaction, the power to delete your own tweets, and some nice esthetic upgrades. Apparently this variant is also caching information locally, so users North Korean won’t have to waiting for visibility pictures to load up, and you tin get rid of the “What’s happening?” loge on the home page, if you’re looking for more screen real estate of the realm. You still tin’t edit before retweeting, which is called quoting in other apps, and there’s also no native address book integrating, as previously speculated, which really disappointed me. I’d lovemaking to be able to pass through my contacts and be able to see the latest tweet of my friends – it could help beginning a earphone conversation, or boot off an e-mail. If RIM could squeeze in multiple account documentation before the public launching, I think they’ll be goodness to butt heads with incumbent third party clients like UberTwitter, SocialScope, and Seesmic.
There ar likely plentitude more surprises in 1.0.0.37, so go ahead and hit up bbtweeps.com/files/php/chirrup.php on your BlackBerry to get the latest Twitter app.
