Changes in v1.7.0:

- TwitPic support – You can now take pictures with your Windows Mobile device and post them to Twitter using TwitPic. You can also view smaller thumbnails of posted pictures that use the TwitPic service by using “Open URL”.
- Search support – You can now perform simple searches on Twitter straight from Twobile.
- GPS support – Geotag your tweets, or even update the “Location” field of your profile straight from your GPS-enabled device (requires that the GPS device is set up using Windows Mobile’s built-in GPS manager)
- URL shortening – Post shortened URLs from your device using the TinyURL or is.gd URL shortening services.
- Cut/Copy/Paste Support – Now you can cut, copy or paste from almost every text box in Twobile!
- New “Write Message” Dialog – A new window has been added so that you no longer need to switch to another tab to write your tweets! It also allows you to manage what image to post, as well as insert shortened URLs, your GPS location, and other text!
- More User-Info View Tabs – View a user’s friends, followers, and statuses from the Profile View window.
- Reply to specific tweets – you can now reply to specific tweets published by another user!
- Locate users with Geocoded addresses – When viewing a user’s profile, you can click on their location to load a map of where they are (so long as the location is a valid and mappable, like a street address or GPS coordinates).
- AJAX-style Profile Image loader – When viewing a user and their profile image is not currently cached on your device, you can now view a user’s status message or profile quicker without having to wait for their profile image to download – it downloads in the background while you’re reading their messages! You can even click on the area for their profile image to manually download it if you have profile images for public timeline users turned off (or other users that aren’t on your friends list)!
- Better one-handed support – many functions can now be perfomed without requiring the use of the touchscreen (be aware, though, that there is still a need for the touchscreen to perform some functions).
- “Block” command added to Followers tab – Don’t like a particular person or spammer following your tweets? You can now block them directly from within Twobile. Just select Action > Block User when you are in the Followers tab!
- Removal of the My Info and Featured tabs – with some improvements like the new “Write Message” dialog and the deprecation of the Featured APIs from Twitter, we have helped streamline your experience a little more by removing those two tabs.
- Custom Retweet Prefixes – Want a different “Retweet” prefix besides “Retweet”, such as “RT”? Well, now you can set your own customized Retweet prefix!
- Mobile Web Optimizers – You can now open websites in mobile web optimizers to increase the loading speed of links
- Anonymous Usage Statistics
