UberTwitter Beta-6 Now Officially Available

When UberTwitter Beta-6 leaked out it created a ton of buzz in the BlackBerry community.  Not only did the popular BlackBerry Twitter application go through some drastic design enhancements, it also added a slew of new features.  The UberTwitter team decided to keep the leak available and let users try out the new version before it was officially released.  This was a great move because they were now getting feedback from a huge amount of users.  Once they worked out the bugs they promised to officially release Beta 6 and today is that day.

UberTwitter Beta-6 (0.945) now includes several different must have Twitter features.  It supports both the new and old retweet methods, has larger avatars and includes a TwitLonger option.  The UberTwitter team also created the “Uber Bar” which lets users create tabs at the top of the application.  These can be used to quickly check @replies, DM’s and even Twitter lists.  UberTwitter is still beta however this new version shows that this application is ready for the spotlight.
