Bonuses for our Nokia touch users: - Twitter 2.0 just got a brand-new look, making it easier for you to post your tweets, re-tweet and follow friend’s, from wherever you are. See full tweets and links on one screen & easily navigate between them. - Like your chats to be even livelier? You’ll love live links inside your fring chat.
As for Android users, the new version 1.2.0.25 of the application comes around with voice, connectivity and stability improvements, as well as with a series of requested settings, including: Hide/Show offline buddies, Hide/Show address book, Privacy settings for IM signature and mood message, A fix for the audio issues on Motorola DROID and Milestone, Better support for Google’s Nexus One and Bug fixes.
Moreover, the company said that the in-chat advertising it put in place a while ago had been expanded to additional Symbian devices. Not to mention that they also announced that the video calls option was set to soon arrive to a wider range of mobile phones, such as the Nokia E71. Other enhancements will be included in the future flavors of the application, so stay tuned to learn more on the matter.
