"Popular professional Twitter app maker HootSuite has just updated its iPhone app and released three new mobile applications. HootSuite's mobile arsenal now includes a total of four apps \u2014 iPhone and Android apps in both full and free versions.\nYou may recall that HootSuite's iPhone app retails for $1.99 and is designed to appeal to business Twitter users with a robust functionality that includes unlimited account support and stats and analytics on shared media.\nNow version 1.2 supports Facebook integration and landscape view. There's an even a free \"Lite\" version that maintains a majority of the functionality, but dumps the price tag and sacrifices the click-through date and unlimited account support feature in the process.\nHootSuite's also introducing two brand new Android applications, both of which bring the same robust HootSuite Twitter iPhone experience to Android devices, but with background notifications to boot. Both versions of the app support multiple Twitter accounts (the Lite version is limited to three accounts), message scheduling, hashtag and search streams, photo- and URL-sharing, and trending topics descriptions. The full-featured version \u2014 which costs the same as its iPhone twin \u2014 also includes click-through statistics for Twitter data analysis.\nOf course, given that HootSuite bills itself as the professional Twitter client you can expect the mobile apps to integrate nicely with your web account. Existing HootSuite users can import their configured accounts and sync their activity between the web client and the mobile apps.\nAs the Android operating system continues to gain market share, HootSuite's expansion on to that platform makes absolute sense. In fact, in the months ahead we expect to see more iPhone-only apps \u2014 especially popular social media standbys \u2014 make their way over to Android as well.\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
