UberTwitter Beta-4 Now Available

Filed Under: Software/Apps

Everyone’s favorite Twitter app has officially released Beta-4 and it has loads of new features.  Ubertwitter has quickly become the top BlackBerry twitter app and the many that have switched over to their service haven’t gone back.

Some of the biggest changes you will see with Beta-4 are multiple accounts, video integration and a more solid GPS system.  Some of us have more the one username and up until now we had to deal with just one twitter account while using Ubertwitter.  This has changed as we now have the ability to use multiple accounts each with their own separate settings.  We can now also add videos to our tweets because Ubertwitter has teamed up with TwitVid to bring us a full video integrations system.

Perhaps one of the best features of Ubertwitter is their integrated GPS system.  It seems they were the first twitter app to actually get it right.  Expect some more improvements to this as they now will offer cell tower based location when GPS is not available.

It won’t be long now until Ubetwitter phases out of Beta and this will bring advertisements into the already free version.  If you want to get rid of them you’ll have to pay some coin but knowing them it shouldn’t be a lot.
