Android app developers are going to love this character limit increase because it actually gives them enough space to properly describe their app in the Market. What once was 325 characters is now 4000, and after the “Recent Changes” was added to the market, this allowed more space reserved for actual descriptions rather than update/bug fix information when new versions were published to the Android Market. This may be so much space that the Developers of the Twitter app may not know what to do with more than 140 characters! Kidding.

Yes, that’s 10 times more space, and for the effect, you’d have to Tweet 28.5 times to hit that many characters. Cool hey?
