The folks over at Twittter sure seem busy this week. The micro-blogging service has tweaked its apps for Windows Phone as well as BlackBerry to provide them with some interesting new features.
First up, Windows Phone is fast turning into a platform Twitter is taking seriously as far as fitting it with updates is concerned. The newest update, which pushes the app to version 2.2.0.0, is available for Windows Phone 7.5 and Windows Phone 8 from the Windows Phone Store.
Updates galore!
The app will now allow you to see translations of foreign language tweets on your timeline, in your preferred language. This built-in translation feature will be powered by the Microsoft Translator API.
More from News AnalysisThis addition comes not too long after Twitter for Windows Phone was given the visual treatment earlier this month. The update provided support for Vine as well as brand new photo filters for images. The feature finally made its way to Windows Phone and brought along eight new filters with it.
Twitter has also updated the BlackBerry version of its app; this update is also centred around image enhancement. While there are no filters, Twitter for BlackBerry brings along image tweaks like photo card support, indicators for Retweets, Favourtites and other miscellaneous indications. When you now expand a tweet on your BlackBerry devices, you will be able to view images in-line.
The app update pushes it to version 4.2 and is available for BlackBerry phones running BlackBerry OS version 0.5 all the way to BlackBerry 10. It is available for download from BlackBerry World.
Intrigued by all things social, Nishtha will invariably tweet about you. When not tweeting or writing about the next viral video, you will hear her proclaiming her love to Metallica, James Hetfield, Opeth, Akerfeldt and all bands that go 'growl'. She also obsesses about ACP Pradyuman and South Park and you will always find her moving around with a book. Her focus is on all the happening stuff in the tech domain, and she won't hesitate to take a shot at some of the oddball devices that make their way to our labs.
