Bloo Too

Bloo one of the most used Android Facebook clients is moving to opensource with its new version Bloo Too which seems to be a complete recoding of the project. The first Bloo Too release will not have all the features of Bloo or Bloo 1.5 but it will be opensource enabling for a faster development process. Here is the list from the post of planned features for the first release of Bloo Too

What’s in the first version? See below:

Brand new engine utilizing the new Android Facebook SDK (Open Graph API)
New login mechanism. You know you hated it in Bloo One. Now setting up Bloo takes one step to add ALL permissions and get started instantly. Ability to log out and login as different users.
New engine for viewing Feeds/Streams for everything (Walls, pages, group walls, event walls and virtually everything the Open Graph allows you to view). Super fast.
New Home screen, including (FINALLY) the ability to go instantly back to it without pressing back millions of times.
Friends list, you know it, you loved it in Bloo One. Fast load, fast search.
Notifications. Yes, they are here just as good (even better) than in Bloo One. Faster and much better battery consumption.
New code, much faster, resusable, accessible and structured much better.

And a link to the original post by the dev.
