The new version of Twidroyd has been released, which features an interesting new tool called Live Preview, for previewing tweeted links. Version 4.0 of the popular Android Twitter client can now display web pages mentioned in a tweet without launching them in the browser – or even leaving the screen you’re on!

Rotate your device to landscape mode and Live Preview mode will automatically kick in. Recent tweets are displayed in a panel on the left of the screen. Select one of these tweets and if it has a link in it, the corresponding web page will be shown in the large preview panel. Although pages don’t always render perfectly, it makes for a good way to quickly check if you’re interested in a site that’s been shared, without having to load it up.

Twidroyd is evolving into a very useful mobile Twitter tool and it’s now packed with lots of cool features. However, the app’s developer still needs to improve loading speeds and make the interface a bit more user-friendly if it’s to compete with the official Android Twitter client.
