BitTorrent releases uTorrent client for Android

BitTorrent Inc. today released the Beta version of uTorrent for Android smartphones and tablets. This is the first official uTorrent app for mobile devices released by the uTorrent team, as per a report by TorrentFreak. You can find, download, subscribe to RSS feeds and play videos directly from your Android device through the app. The uTorrent Beta release is available on Google Play completely free of charge.Android users could so far only control the uTorrent PC client remotely via uTorrent Remote. Although the app is widely-used, a native client for Android opens up an entire realm of possibilities. It came to light in February this year that BitTorrent Inc. was working on a mobile version of the client for Android devices, but no concrete details were mentioned at that time.A post on the official uTorrent blog states, “For the past few months our engineers have been hard at work developing a mobile BitTorrent app that is worthy of the name “µTorrent.” In order to live up to our high standards, we knew that the app would need to be fast, lightweight, powerful and better than anything else currently on the market. After months of hard work (and copious amounts of coffee) we are proud to release µTorrent Beta for Android to the Google Play store.” Click here for full story
