TwitterFon 2.0 速報

注意！以下內容，目前連官方網站也未有提及。本人已獲開發者允許率先披露內容。

在七月七日就接收到TwitterFon最新版本號2.0的首個測試版本，但因為自己仍未有能力買到iPhone 3GS，也不敢肯定自己何時才會買，也就沒有提供目前自己iPhone 3G 的UDID予開發者；但後來竟然收到開發者的主動來信詢問，最後就由beta 2版本開始測試。

本來想寫更多的新功能出來，但由於時間吃緊，我唯有放棄作出詳測的文章，先來一個速報好了。

TwitterFon Pro 2.0已在七月十六日傳予Apple，最快應於七日後、即二十三日上架；普通版原本也一併送審，但後來發現有臭蟲，結果延遲一日再送審。

要說軟件的最大改動，必定是TwitterFon 2.0不再支援iPhone OS 2.x版本。如果還沒有打算升級至3.0（例如你正在使用iPod Touch，暫不想付費升級），那麼新版本軟件就切記不要更新。

TwitterFon新增支持3GS拍攝及上載影片到 twitvid.com ，不用離開軟件就能看地圖、傳電郵、看YouTube，還可以橫向使用；終於支持twitpic API，Pro版本支持Ping.fm和flickr圖片上載…還有很多，重點是，軟件沒有慢到！而且廣告好像變沒有那麼煩人了，多好～

不過要批評的地方倒不是沒有的，後來也有發現一些臭蟲，最令我失望的是Pro版發文只能固定Landscape或是Normal Mode，再也不能隨意轉動。還有一些臭蟲（老實說，蠻臭的）正在修復中，要不是新版本好多於壞，恐怕又會得罪很多既定用家。
