Blaq, the third party Twitter client for BlackBerry 10 devices is now officially available in beta form on BlackBerry Beta Zone.
The general release for the public via BlackBerry World isn’t free ($2.99/£2.00), so being a customer already in order to participate in the beta is a no brainer. This update brings a slew of updates which include the recently announced lift on the 140 character limit by Twitter, something which the BlackBerry 10 devs have yet to bring on the in-house version of Twitter for BlackBerry 10:
