TweetDeck

It's been a little over a month since we launched Android TweetDeck 1.0. Thanks to a great beta period we were able to deliver a really solid first version of the app. Use cases had been polished out, bugs fixed, but still, there's always more to be done.

Today we're releasing Android TweetDeck 1.0.3 to the market with many of the features we've heard most requested since launch. Included is the ability to manually shorten URLs, change the photo service to Twitpic and more complete support for landscape mode.

Change log for 1.0.3:

• Landscape mode for all update detail views
• Added support for Twitpic
• Manual bit.ly shortening
• Allow for dismissing Places notification
• Fix faving tweets on 3g in France
• Allow old style RTs for protected users
• Support FB Single Sign On
• Allow users to delete DMs that are sent to them
• Likes and comments on FB photos should stay in app
• Several bug fixes and performance improvements

1.0.3 is rolling out to the Android Market now and should be available for everyone running Android 1.6+.

While we think this is the best version of Android TweetDeck yet, it is by no means slowing down in development. High on the priority list is user name auto-complete, ability to upload video, native Facebook image posting and better widgets. 

If you're interested in helping us beta test new versions, need help or want to send feedback, please make sure to follow @deckondroid. 

It's been a crazy couple months here at TweetDeck. We announced our public beta of Android TweetDeck on August 12th and since then we've done 11 releases, crushed millions of bugs and listened to a tonne of feedback. Today we're ready to officially launch our Android app and make it available to everyone via the Android Market.

To download the app search the market for "TweetDeck" or click this link from your phone: Android Market (note: beta testers, please uninstall your beta version before downloading 1.0).

For those of you who haven't had the chance to test the beta, Android TweetDeck is a completely reworked UI for managing your social media empire. With the app you can view and post to Twitter, Facebook,Foursquare and Buzz. We've tried to innovate as much as possible to deliver a smooth, clean experience while offering more power than any other social mobile client. Updates from all services are viewable in blended Home and Me columns so you can easily keep up-to-date without a lot of jumping around. We've also strived to take what has made TweetDeck a great Twitter client and provide that level of support to the other services. Here's a quick video rundown of app functionality:

Android TweetDeck 1.0 is just the beginning of our new wave of mobile products. We're looking forward to continuing development by better supporting landscape mode, adding deeper Facebook integration, better multiple account support and lots more.

Additionally, we've started developing the new version of TweetDeck for iPhone and iPad. We're modeling the app on the Android version, doing everything from scratch and not holding anything back. Those TweetDeck team members with iPhones are pretty amped about the new stuff. Stay tuned for updates on progress. 

We'd like to thank our beta testers (all 36,000 of you!) and invite you to follow @deckondroid to stay on the bleeding edge. It's pretty cool that Android lets us distribute the app outside of the market as it makes testing so much easier. Please follow that account to find out about new test apks and the latest on pre-market releases.

Finally, we thought it would be a cool bonus to provide @fstid's awesome angry android image as a wallpaper for your Android phones. You can grab it from here. Enjoy!

As we bring our initial Android TweetDeck beta period to a close, we wanted to quickly reflect on the Android ecosystem and what might be considered extreme fragmentation. To date we've had 36,427 active beta testers and below you can see the massive variety of phones and Android OS versions everyone is running. We were really shocked to see the number of custom roms, crazy phones and general level of customization/hackalicious nature of Android. From our perspective it's pretty cool to have our app work on such a wide variety of devices and Android OS variations.
