			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twitter&#8217;s a service that, no matte what phone you have, you want to be able to access your tweets, one way or another. It&#8217;s a micro-blogging network that&#8217;s grown at an incredible rate over the last couple years, with no end in sight. And companies like Research In Motion, with their stalwart BlackBerry line of devices in millions of customer&#8217;s hands, finally wanted to get in on the good stuff. So, pushing UberTwitter for the platform aside, they&#8217;ve finally publicly released their official Twitter client for BlackBerry.</p>
<p><img src="http://cdn.slashphone.com/sp/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/BlackBerry-Pearl-9100.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="560" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8845" /></p>
<p><span id="more-8844"></span></p>
<p>The service actually went public last night, starting at 6PM PST, 9PM EST. You can download it right now from BlackBerry&#8217;s App World, where it should come up as a free download. Surprisingly enough, there&#8217;s quite a few good features linked with the official application. For example, if you&#8217;re someone who gets a lot of direct messages, you can actually have them directly shipped to your Inbox, rather than just sitting in your DM list on Twitter.</p>
<p>Other features include getting your mentions the instant they hit your side of Twitter. In fact, your device can be set to vibrate every time you get a mention, which, for some, may be the perfect way to know that people are talking about you. The application also supports customization to the app itself, Lists, and you can choose whether to show or hide the navigation bar/tweet box at the top of the application, to save screen space. As was mentioned above, the application is available right now and it&#8217;s free, so go ahead and check it out for us. Of course, don&#8217;t forget to let us know what you think.</p>
<p>[Thanks, Jewels]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ll just go ahead and say it: Twitter is a business application. That&#8217;s right, you&#8217;re not seeing a question mark there. We understand that a lot of companies, businesses, and everything in between (us included) use Twitter in one capacity or another. Whether that&#8217;s just by advertisement, or dealing with the social networking side of it, there&#8217;s always a reason to use Twitter. And it looks like Research In Motion is finally agreeing with everyone out there, because they&#8217;ve got two applications in the works that will make a lot of Twitter and LinkedIn users happy.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8209" src="http://cdn.slashphone.com/sp/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/BlackBerry-Newsletter-580x419.png" alt="" width="580" height="419" /></p>
<p><span id="more-8208"></span></p>
<p>Of course, BlackBerry users have a good Twitter application already available to them in the guise of UberTwitter, but there is a small glimmer of hope that an official application will just <em>work better</em> than anything else offered. In this case, the Twitter for BlackBerry smartphones is set to include Mentions, Direct Messages, your Timeline, retweeting, and following (all the essentials for a Twitter client). From the small image we can see of the application, we&#8217;re liking how it looks.</p>
<p>The LinkedIn for BlackBerry application also looks pretty nice. You&#8217;re able to look up profiles, send messages, and check network updates. However, there&#8217;s one feature that seems to <em>suggest</em> a far bigger thing happening here. The advertisement suggests that you will be able to see LinkedIn profile photos in your Contacts. Does that mean the LinkedIn application is going to sync with your BlackBerry contacts? We certainly hope so. Lastly, both of these applications are going to be offered up for free, but the only semblance of a timeline that RIM is offering can be found in that legendary &#8220;soon&#8221; word, so who knows when they&#8217;ll actually hit.</p>

<p><a href="http://cdn.slashphone.com/sp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/BBtwitter.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7750" title="BBtwitter" src="http://cdn.slashphone.com/sp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/BBtwitter.jpg" alt="" width="467" height="337" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;they have a Twitter client coming, it&#8217;s not fully completed yet but they are using the Twitter name as leverage in the mean time cause they know no matter what, users can still access Twitter [through the BlackBerry's browser].</p>
<p>Hopefully we will see the BlackBerry Tour 9650, BlackBerry Pearl 9100, and the BlackBerry Twitter client all around the same time and let’s hope it’s very soon!</p></blockquote>
