Android TweetDeck 1.0.3: We're Listening - Twitpic, Short URLs & Landscape

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.

Click the device Menu button to change image services or manually shorten a URL.

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.

Guillermo's Travels

Earlier this year, Guillermo, the TweetDeck bird, decided to take some of his well-earned holiday and travel to Majorca. He liked the beaches, the culture and the spoken language so much that he decided to bring some of this back to TweetDeck. Whist snoozing on the beach, Guillermo had a brainwave on how he could incorporate aspects of his holiday into TweetDeck. What if he could make the TweetDeck website available in multiple languages? Brilliant!

This holiday sparked a love for languages and a need to visit other countries, seven to be exact. From the tropical heat of Indonesia to the carnivals of Brazil, Guillermo decided that these languages had to be within Tweetdeck. His travels continued until he had been all over the world, which he conveniently documented for us:

So, we are delighted to announce that the TweetDeck website is now available in the following languages:

  • Brazilian Portuguese
  • Chinese Simplified
  • Dutch
  • German
  • Indonesian 
  • Japanese
  • Portuguese
  • Spanish

Guillermo and the TweetDeck team would like to thank all of the wonderful TweetDeck Translators that made this possible!

Oh and by the way, all of these languages and more will be coming to the TweetDeck Desktop and Mobile clients soon.... 

Signing off...
