14 DAY TRIAL // Android mobile phone owners have now a new application available for their devices, in the form of Trillian for Android. Only in beta for the time being, the application was made available publicly, so as to offer a wider audience the possibility to tryout the solution.
Moreover, the development team of the software solution expects to be able to improve the capabilities of Trillian for Android via the feed-back received from beta testers, it seems.
In case you were wondering which handsets can taste Trillian for Android, you should know that all mobile phones based on Android 1.6 or higher can benefit from the software solution's features.
“Devices as far back as 1.6 can run Trillian for Android, which means your 2-year-old G1 won't be left behind! At the same time, users with the latest and greatest phones can enjoy shiny high-res graphics,” Cerulean Studios notes on its website.
The currently available beta version of Trillian for Android might come with a wide range of bugs and issues, but its developers are set to deliver a load of fixes over the coming weeks.
According to the team, the Trillian for Android is a time-limited beta, which means that it would expire between releases, and that users would need to have the latest version installed to stay connected, the same as it happens with the BlackBerry flavor of the app.
However, the Android solution is a brand new application, and not a release ported from another mobile platform, the company notes.
The features list of this app include: Tabbed chat: Switch between many simultaneous chat sessions easily by tapping the tabs. View latest activities at a glance!
Landscape mode: We know you want it, so we included this in the first version of our Android port! Works perfectly with phones with a sliding keyboard.
Send emoticons, photos and buzz: Share a picture taken with your phone camera, have fun with a large variety of emoticons, and even buzz your friends to demand attention!
Trillian for Android offers access to AIM, Facebook Chat, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ and other IM accounts.
The software solution also comes with cloud syncing features, meaning that people would have their contacts and accounts ported to any new Android phones they use.
The latest build of Trillian for Android, namely 1.0.0.61, can be downloaded from the company's website here.
