BitTorrent Inc. released a native uTorrent client for Android smartphones and tablet computers today. This is the first official BitTorrent client released by the uTorrent team that works on mobile devices, a relatively underserved market of BitTorrent users. The new release allows users to search for torrents online, download files directly to any Android device, and supports RSS feeds.
With about 150 million active users each month, uTorrent is by far the most used BitTorrent client in the West. But despite its unrivaled popularity uTorrent didn't have a mobile client, until today.

Earlier this year TorrentFreak revealed that BitTorrent Inc. was working on an Android app, and today the first version has been released to the public. The Beta release includes all the basic functions a downloader needs, including search and RSS feeds, and is completely free of charge.
"For the past few months our engineers have been hard at work developing a mobile BitTorrent app that is worthy of the name uTorrent," BitTorrent Inc. announced.
