New Blaq Twitter Client For BlackBerry Released – Free & Premium Versions Available For Download!

By Mauricio

Yesterday I gave you a sneak peek of the new Blaq Twitter client for BlackBerry smartphones. As I said before, this app has a unique design and feature set that I think will make it a favored Twitter app. Today was dubbed Blaq Friday by its developers since Blaq is now available for download… and it’s Friday. Features include:

• BlaqOps – Request a mutual follower’s contact info
• BlaqOut – Block users and phrases
• Custom refresh settings – Set custom refresh settings for the home timeline, mentions and direct messages
• Quick Tweet – Tweet from any screen
• Tweet #nowplaying – Tweet the info of the song you’re listening to with the #nowplaying hashtag
• Tweet a web page – Grab the URL of the web page you’re viewing and tweet it
• Bl4q.me – Custom Blaq URL shortener (you can still use bit.ly or another custom shortener)

The free version is called BlaqLite, supports ads and is missing some features. The premium version is called Blaq, is available for $4.99 and has no ads. According to the developers of Blaq, all updates and upgrades of the application will be free for life.  Also, a touch screen version is in the works and should be available soon.

I’ve included a bunch of screenshots below so check them out and let me know what you think in the comments!
