TwitterFon 2.0 will be available soon!
Posted by Kazuho Okui on 6:13 PM
We're very happy to announce about TwitterFon 2.0! TwitterFon 2.0 has lots of new features and improvements. Let's take a look the inside.
Video upload with iPhone 3GS
First off, video uploading. If you have iPhone 3GS, you can upload videos from TwitterFon to twitvid. twitvid and TwitterFon have been working very hard to make this happen. twitvid is fully optimized for iPhone. For instance, if you get a phone call during video uploading, twitvid and TwitterFon saves uploading point then resume the uploading after you hang up the call. twitvid also optimized video uploading not only for WiFi networks, but also for 3G and EDGE networks.
Support new OS 3.0 features
TwitterFon 2.0 fully supports iPhone OS 3.0 features. You can send a link via e-mail without leaving TwitterFon, you can open Map view from Google Maps link, you can see YouTube videos without leaving TwtiterFon. New landscape keyboard (Pro only) is much improved from previous version.
Please note that TwitterFon 2.0 doesn't work on OS 2.2.1 or earlier version of iPhone OS. Please update your iPhone / iPod Touch to OS 3.0 to prepare for TwitterFon 2.0. It's free for iPhone and $9.99 for iPod Touch.

Optimizing
Before introducing tons of new features, we would emphasize that we've been working so hard to optimize TwitterFon. Fast and smooth UI is key for mobile client, so we did optimize a lot. In fact, TwitterFon 2.0 is fastest TwitterFon ever even on the first iPhone. If you have 3GS, it's super fast! Here is a list of optimizations.



Refines and Fixes
We also fixed bunch of issues users have reported us. Also, on version 1.5.4, ads displaying are too aggressive and many users complained it. We refine it too. Hope you accept new ways.
TwitterFon will be available AppStore very soon. Stay tuned and enjoy new features!
Note: Apple reported us that TwitterFon Pro's binary file is somehow corrupted in the review process. We resubmitted the binary immediately, but it will take extra time to be on AppStore.
