Social networking site Twitter has just rolled out a new version of their Android mobile client. The new version offers several UI enhancements, including several of the gestures and features present in the company’s iOS offering:

• Pull to Refresh: This popular feature, which was first available through our iPhone app, functions just as it sounds – when you’re at the top of your timeline, simply pull down to load new Tweets.
• Swipe to Reveal: Swipe across a Tweet to get quick access to several options, such as viewing a user’s profile, sharing a tweet, or replying.
• Quote a Tweet: Clicking the retweet icon now gives you the option to quote a Tweet. Of course, you can still retweet as you normally would.
• Hi-res avatar photos

Twitter version 1.0.5 is available, as we type, in the Android Market. Head on over in that direction… and grab the updated Facebook application while you’re at it!

    Wow, “…includes iOS UI elements”. Lawsuit forthcoming…

    Twitter bought the rights to the “UI elements” I was referring to when they bought Tweetie.

    So… is this better than Twidroyd (my personal favorite) or TweetDeck (the 800 lb gorilla of the Twitterverse)? That stuff you’re talking about seems interesting enough, but the two I mentioned have some killer features.

    They need to make it save your place. I hate having to start over every time I open it. That’s why I use Touiteur.

      the iOS version does that (saves your place) – the Android version doesn’t?
