Pre-Release Version of UberTwitter Beta 6 Available to Download

Yesterday an early build of UberTwitter Beta 6 was leaked to the public.  That leaked version, which was v0.932, generated a ton of buzz on the Internet and particularly Twitter.  In fact it was so big on Twitter that at one point yesterday #UberTwitter hit the popular Trending Topics list.  As you can imagine UberTwitter wasn’t too happy about this and released the statement below on their website.

“We have been working very hard to provide you with a ‘knock-out’ release for Beta-6. Unfortunately, the first pre-release of this version was shared widely beyond our group of testers, and to compound this, they didn’t properly post the correct BlackBerry OS builds. We recognize that many of our users unfortunately downloaded this version, most with the wrong OS build. In order to rectify this problem, we are putting the first pre-release out there for anyone that wants to download it and give it a try. We have builds for 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, and 5.0. Please understand that this is not a finished product, the UI, colors, and some inner workings are not complete, but do work. The final release is still a few weeks away, but I hope that you agree that it will be well worth the wait!”

Kudos goes to UberTwitter for making this available to the public.  They could have decided to ignore this leak and take it down but instead they embraced it.  It’s brilliant strategy really because that one leak has given them a ton of PR.  As for the pre-release version remember it’s not the finished product so keep that in mind when you’re playing with it.
