BlackBerry App TwitterBerry Renamed to OpenBeak

The BlackBerry app for Twitter know as TwitterBerry now has been renamed to OpenBeak. This application allows you to post your updates to Twitter over your carriers data network so you don't need to use SMS. The new application didn't change much but they did some minor tweaks. If you are currently using TwitterBerry its time to upgrade and we will proved a download link later. The name change will allow the application to grow beyond just Twitter and the BlackBerry smart phones. This hint to me means they are possibly working for something for Android users.

Openbeak must be run on a BlackBerry smart phone with OS version greater than 4.2.1.

Some of the Features of OpeanBeak include:

One-click access to view friends timelines, replies, your favorites, your own timeline, and the public timeline.
Post pictures to Zannel, TwitPic, Twitgoo, or yfrog.
The ability to reply to tweets from each timeline view.
Post your Tweats to Twitter and it will automatically countdown the character from 140.
Take a picture with a one-click embedded camera (BlackBerry® Device Software version 4.6+)
The ability to mark your favorite tweets.
Send and receive direct messages.
Search Twitter with a keyword or from a list of currently trending topics
Two modes of list views: a "fixed height" view and a "variable height" view
