Übertwitter Update Tomorrow

Courtney Elizabeth — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:20:46 +0000

There should be an update tomorrow…
Aren’t you excited?
*smile*
Although I only use übertwitter when I’m outside away from Wi-Fi for my iPod Touch now, I still would LOVE to turn off those damn advertisements.

We’ll see what happens tomorrow…

Will iPhone take over #TeamBlackberry?

Courtney Elizabeth — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 18:00:30 +0000

We knew it was coming…

It seems Forbes believes that Apple will surpass the Research in Motion in the Mobile Phone Market.

Now that iPhone to AT&T exclusivity is no longer valid, it opens the doors to more carriers.

Many, like me, hope that Verizon Wireless will pick up the iPhone.

Now now…

Don’t look at me like that.

I’m STILL and ALWAYS WILL BE #TeamBlackberry…

I actually plan on using one for business and one for play.

Don’t judge me.

Flixster for Blackberry – Find a Movie and Theater

Courtney Elizabeth — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:47:05 +0000

Flixster Blackberry Application helps you find a movie AND a theater to watch it in!

Sometimes I’m out, and I’ll decide to catch a movie, but I’m not sure of show times and where to watch it at.

This application will list the hottest and not so hot movies that are currently out in theaters. Once you’ve selected the movie that you’d like to watch, it will then help you find a theater close to you to watch it in!

And if that’s not enough for you, you can also buy the tickets using a Credit Card… all within the Flixster for Blackberry Application.

Sounds like an application that I’ll be keeping.

Ubertwitter – Beta 7

Courtney Elizabeth — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 18:32:00 +0000

Have you downloaded the new UberTwitter Beta-7?

With all of the hype over the long awaited Official Twitter for Blackberry leak, some folks forgot about UberTwitter Beta-7.

A new version of UberTwitter has been released for all BlackBerry users to enjoy. The new version brings us up to Beta-7, and thankfully, a beautiful changelog was published to go with. Nice. Detailed to be mostly of the bug fix/tweak sort, the update is said to be ‘in preparation for a substantial feature upgrade for Beta-8′.

Reactions:

Unlike the Official Twitter for Blackberry Application, we can CHOOSE whether we want to use the OLD Retweet or the NEW Retweet. And that in itself gets a Gold Star.
I’m still liking the fact that we can enlarge a user’s avatar to see exactly who they are…or who they want us to think they are (Ha!).
The timeline refreshes faster.

Key features, fixes and updates in Beta-7:

Picture/Video Chooser – Modified to be much quicker and sort newest files to the top. Once BlackBerry fixes the bug in 5.0 which prevents us from using their built-in chooser, we will switch to that which will provide thumbnails.
Viewing TwitLonger Tweets – Fixed bug where longer tweets were getting cut off
Copy/Paste Links – Fixed a bug where when you copied/pasted a link from a tweet it would end up pasting the entire link.
Avatar Uploads – Fixed a bug where some users avatar uploads would consistently fail.
Flickr Image Support – Now support in-line thumbnails and viewing of Flickr images.
TwitGoo – Now support in-line thumbnails and viewing of TwitGoo images.
Pressing Enter on Uber Bar – Pressing ENTER on the Uber Bar will now select the tab.
Friend Picker – Fixed a bug where the friend picker would sometimes not show up when pressing ‘@’
Battery Drain – Fixed a bug where failures to load your friends list would significantly drain the battery.
Short-cut to Email a Tweet – press ‘z’ to email a tweet!
Spurious reboots/White Screens – Through painstaking tests with our test group we tracked down the issue that was causing spurious reboots and instability for some users.
WiFi Only Fix – Fixed a bug where users with no data plan were unable to use the wifi only mode.
Reply All and underscores – Fixed a bug in reply-all where users with an underscore were not getting copied properly.
Added Cancel to retweet dialog – Added the option to select ‘cancel’ when being asked whether to use the new or old retweet method.
Load More on list timelines – Fixed the ‘load more’ button so it actually works at the bottom of list timelines.
Focus switch to tweet text – Changed the focus to be the tweet text and not the avatar when opening a tweet
www.twitpic.com URL now supported – Now support www.twitpic.com for preview and image views.
Inability to delete tweets less than 15 characters – Fixed the bug where you couldn’t delete tweets less than 15 characters.
Adding account to account list – Fixed bug where adding a new account didn’t immediately show up in the account list.
BirdNext Proxy Bug – Fixed a bug so that the Bird Next proxy will now work when posting tweets.
New Style Retweets Truncated – Fixed bug where new style retweets would sometimes be truncated if the original tweet was close to 140 characters.
Sponsored Content – Changed sponsored content ‘bubbles’ to look different then regular tweets.
GPS failures – Fixed an issue where the built-in GPS would not be used for location.
Exceptions when permissions were not granted – Fixed numerous issues which would be triggered if the application didn’t have adequate permissions.

UberTwitter and other BlackBerry Twitter Client developers will no doubt have to up their game in the next little while. RIM has released their official Twitter for BlackBerry Client in Private Beta… and while it’s still early days for the official app, RIM will surely make big strides over the next few months to make it as awesome as possible.

Hmm…I wonder what UberTwitter Beta-8 will will look like!
