Tweetian is a free-of-charge Twitter client that we reviewed earlier this year. It was originally written as an exercise in learning Qt and QML, but it has since become a fully featured Twitter client, with a smoothly animated user interface that manages to blend Twitter's branding style with the Nokia Belle style. Dickson, Tweetian's developer, has just announced a new 'mile stone' version (1.3) of Tweetian on his blog with a long list of improvements.

Before and after the 1.3 update
