UPDATE:
-
Twitter for BlackBerry has been pre-released in a closed beta. The beta is by invitation only, however, we’ve heard that there are unofficial download sites if you look for them…
Infamous BlackBerry tipster, Salomondrin, says that the Official Twitter for BlackBerry Client that we told you RIM was working on the other day will come out on November 16th. The big to do about RIM’s Twitter client is that it will use BIS Push allowing Tweets to be delivered instantly without having to refresh the interface.
Other features according to BBNews.pl include:
- Notification of number of new tweets on the home screen with icon, like text messages
- Main app opens friends timeline
- Ability to view followers
- Follow/unfollow functions
- Create direct messages, replies and new tweets
- Keyword search and saved results
- Tweet photos directly from camera or memory card
- View photos from other tweets
- View trending topics
- Address book integration
Although I think this is a good thing I fail to see why I’d choose it over something like UberTwitter which already does exactly the same things including updating with having to refresh the interface.
Oh sheesh y’all, ’twas a dream…
