If the name UberTwitter sounds familiar, that'll be because it's one
of the more popular mobile Twitter clients, accounting for 10 million
tweets each day from BlackBerry users around the globe. And now it's
also available on the iPhone. Citing the "growing dominance" of
Apple's one-device-to-rule-them-all mobile platform, the UberTwitter
crew has decided to expand its offering with a new open beta, which is
available to download now. The major distinguishing feature being
touted is something called UberView, which allows access to links
within tweets without exiting the app or opening up a new window
within it. Looks a pretty slick idea, but there are still some early
issues to be ironed out -- as with all beta iterations -- and a final
v1.0 should be ready to do battle with Twitter's official app by the
middle of December.
