TweetCaster – the upgrade rocks across mobile clients

We first mentioned TweetCaster back in 2009 when it was just a BlackBerry app for Twitter. Since then they have gone multi-platform opening the doors to iPad, iPod, TweetCaster logoWindows Mobile , Bada, Android and still BlackBerry.

The new interface is quite impressive in the three different operating systems I tested on. Sporting millions of downloads, they have an impressive list of features:

  • All the basic Twitter functions
  • Zip It- hide unwanted tweets without unfollowing people
  • Send to Instapaper
  • Color coding
  • Nearby searches
  • Multiple themes and fonts
  • Info rich timeline
  • you can read the full list here

The client is free with banner ads or you can upgrade to the Pro version for $4.99.  I did not find the ads very intrusive on the iPad, so give the free version a shot first.

Psst, they also now make FriendCaster which is Facebook for iPad and a few other cool apps.

Twittelator Neue: A Beautiful New Twitter App for iPhone

Twittelator Neue is one of the latest Twitter clients for the iPhone and iPod Touch to hit the App Store. It’s absolutely a beautiful Twitter client to look at, but lacks many features to make switch from what we’re currently using.

Twittelator Neue

What makes this mobile Twitter app really stand out is it’s inline image and website embeds. When someone tweets a picture, a cropped preview of the image will appear just beneath the tweet. This cropped image theme also extends to profiles. It’s a very nice visual effect. When selecting a tweet that has a link attached, Twitterlator Neue will load the link just beneath the tweet, which we find to be very convenient.

Twitterlator Neue is full of nice animations, gestures, and menu overlays when creating a new tweet or deleting old messages. However, it doesn’t automatically refresh Mentions or doesn’t seem to really delete Direct Messages though it gives you the option to. You also cannot add anyone to a Twitter list from their profile. You have to go into your Twitter list and select “edit” to access the “add user to list” option. We prefer to add on the fly. At the time of writing this post,  there was no integration with iOS 5 either.

While Twittelator Neue is beautiful and brings great new features to the table , we’ll be waiting for another update or two before we switch this app. Though if you don’t mind it’s currently available for $1.99.

Tweetgo Twitter Mobile Web Client for Nokia Maemo Gadgets (N900, N8)

Spotted on MyNokiaBlog.com, Tweetgo is a mobile web client for Twitter designed with Nokia Maemo devices in mind (i.e. Nokia N900). If you’ve ever owned a Nokiaa N900, then you’re aware of the lack of great Twitter clients for the Maemo platform. Tweetgo aims to be the solution using your mobile web browser.

Simply visit in http://www.tweetgo.net/ your mobile web browser to access your Twitter account  coupled with a great user interface. Tweetgo works in both landscape and portrait mode and includes quick access to most Twitter features including your lists. Things like your Favorites might require a little digging.

MyNokiaBlog has some great screencaps and a video of Tweetgo.net running on a Nokia N8. Give it a whirl in your browser if you’re using any of the Nokia Maemo devices.

SpokenTwitter – speak your tweets

SpokenTwitter allows you to record a message that is tweeted out as a link so people hear your voice.  You can reply, retweet and more with their menus and they provide local access numbers across numerous countries.

Features: (via any phone)

  • Post spoken tweets to Twitter
  • Unlimited recording length
  • NO 140 character restriction
  • Voice tweet in local language
  • Followers, hear real voice
  • Tweet while mobile / offline
  • Local access numbers
  • Listen to Twitter text timeline
  • Audio playback of voice tweets
  • @Replies to tweets

The only way I see this being monetized is commercials and advertisers inserted at some point in the process of usage and growth  They have to store all of these audio tweets for retrieval and playback.  As well as index and make instantly available.

ShoutOut – speech to text tweeting for the iPhone

ShoutOut is a nifty (free) application for your iPhone/iPod that allows you to talk your way through tweeting, Facebook updates and texting.

What was unique about the updating was the rolling list of words as it guessed what you were saying, and allowed you to delete and select words with your finger quickly.  You can also shake the device to clear the new message and start over.  Simple, intuitive and free.  It shows when it is listening and you can see the words it is selecting to send as you talk.

Note, if you click the link it will attempt to launch iTunes.  Just hit cancel and you can view the webpage if desired.  There are also more screenshots available to see the user interface.
