HootSuite are set to send Android smartphone owners hearts a flutter by releasing it’s mobile application onto the Android Market.
The mobile client comes packaged as two separate offerings, HootSuite and HootSuite Lite, both delivering features not common to most other mobile Twitter applications.
Android device owners will now be able to share the joy with their iPhone brethren with features including the ability to manage multiple identities and accounts, messaging scheduling and the ability to create custom views for tags and searches.
The Lite client is ad-supported and allows upto three different accounts, neatly arranging different streams into different tabs so the user can simply swipe back and forth between them. If the Lite version is too limiting, the full-featured app offers unlimited accounts aswell as fully featured click-through statistics offering a real-time insight into your messages.
