Twitter For Android Updated, But You'll Have To Be On Ice Cream Sandwich Or A Kindle Fire To Really Care
Update: Here's the Market changelog, which brings a few more tweaks in the update to light:
The official Twitter for Android app just received a substantial update, and you can download it from the web Market now, or wait until it's available on the device Market in the next hour. Twitter posted a changelog on its blog, but here are the excerpts you'll be interested in:
Basically, global changes include a minor gesture feature, plus a disclosure that Twitter will be uploading your contacts to their servers if you use the "Find friends" option.
But if you're on Android 4.0, something much more important has changed: hardware acceleration. Oh yes indeed - if you're on Ice Cream Sandwich, you'll notice the Twitter app is now buttery smooth, just as it always should have been. In addition, Robot font support has been added, so it's a whole lot more readable now.
Kindle Fire owners can now use the official Twitter app as well, downloadable via the Amazon Appstore.
