UberTwitter Beta 6 Out, Spices It Up

The guys at UberTwitter let go of a pre-beta release today. Its basically the Beta 6, but is a pre-release, meaning its still under developement, and carries the tag, 'Use at your own risk' :P

Here's a list of features Beta 6 will have when it comes out during the next few weeks:
  • Lists, Lists, Lists !!! - You can create, delete, subscribe, add members, view members, all the functionality you would expect of an Über mobile client!
  • Retweets - We will support the old method and new method, you decide!
  • Find People - You can search for people, just like the 'Find People' link on Twitter's home page.
  • New Icon - We love it!
  • Saved Searches - Fully integrated with Twitter's saved search capability.
  • Update Twitter Profile - Yes, you will be able to update your Twitter profile directly from your phone.
  • Profile Picture - We have heard you, we will allow you to upload a picture for your Twitter avatar right from your phone!
  • Über Bar - We couldn't resist the name! This is a tab bar at the top of the screen, the neat thing is that you can add your own tabs! A list can be a tab, a saved search, and later other types of timelines.
  • Report Spam - One menu selection to report a tweet as a spam, and optionally block the user.
  • Twitter Geo-Tagging - We will directly support Twitter's new geo-tagging capability. You can decide whether to still use myloc.me URLs, Twitter Geo-Tagging, or both!
  • Twitter name menu - Type '@' and a list of your friends automatically pops up allowing selection
  • Larger Avatars - Click the profile picture, and view a larger version!
  • Various bug fixes. 
They have releases for 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and 5.0 versions of the Blackberry OS. Its also got a makeover, a really sexy one at that ! They've changed the icon, and the color scheme too !
