Chalk it up as a rumor for now, but you may be looking at RIM’s official Twitter client for BlackBerry. Said to launch in February, the client was mentioned at a BlackBerry 9700 launch party in Mexico.
The rumored Twitter application features include:
- Notification of number of new tweets on the home screen with icon, like text messages
- Main app opens friends timeline
- Ability to view followers
- Follow/unfollow functions
- Create direct messages, replies and new tweets
- Keyword search and saved results
- Tweet photos directly from camera or memory card
- View photos from other tweets
- View trending topics
- Address book integration
Anyone excited, or does UberTwitter/TwitterBerry/etc. fill your Twitter needs? Sound off in the comments!
I hope it ends up having push notifications for Twitter too. That would be pretty nice. Other than that…whooptie-freakin-doo.
