Popular Blackberry Twitter App Comes To The iPhone

BlackBerry users know all about UberTwitter. The mobile Twitter client accounts for 10 million tweets each day from BlackBerry users around the globe (according to Engadget). Now, UberTwitter has arrived for the iPhone/iPod touch.

Created by TweetUp, Inc., the UberTwitter app is currently in open beta and available for download in the App Store. According to a press release received by AppAdvice:

"Given the iPhone's growing dominance among smartphone users, we wanted to extend our product offering to its users while making sure our app offered features that would complement the platform's unique functionality," said Paul McDonald, CEO of ŰberTwitter. "For instance, ŰberView will enhance the way users consume content. As more tweets become vehicle for sharing articles, photos and videos, this feature will become ever more indispensable."

One UberTwitter feature which stands out is UberView. This allows users to see links within tweets without having to exit the application. This is a great feature and one that could make UberTwitter a worthy competitor to existing Twitter apps already in the App Store.

The first full version of UberTwitter is expected by mid-December. I would strongly recommend waiting until this version is available. While the beta version of UberTwitter is somewhat stable, for most users it might not be worth your time. But, if you like testing out new software, go right ahead and enjoy!
