In addition to a free version that includes special background art, a deluxe version available for $1.99 includes additional, exclusive art as well as sounds that are triggered by actions such as sending a Tweet or direct message, all recorded or selected by 50 Cent.

“Twitter has become an important way for me to communicate with my fans and for my fans to communicate with each other,” said 50 Cent, who himself has more than 4.4 million followers. “We’re all big users of UberSocial on the BlackBerry and already use many of their current themes to customize the look of the app, so it was a natural for me to work with UberMedia to develop a special theme. I think my fans are going to love sending and reading their Tweets with my new theme.”
