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.

TwitToday – crazy simple Windows Mobile Touchscreen tweeting

TwitToday takes simplicity to the finest for your Windows Mobile touchscreen device (not just one with a homepage).

What you see is a simple click, type and Go to send a tweet. That is it. No application launching. No other waiting. Just tap and go. Genius for the quick tweeter. It is written as a widget in C++ for the homescreen.
Note: To set your username and password, go to the Options dialog for “Twit Today” from the Today screen control panel applet.
Requirements
The application was written for Windows Mobile 5/6 touchscreen PDAs.

Twikini – fast client for Windows Mobile

Trinket Software offers a few fun products and also Twikini, the Twitter client for Windows Mobile devices.  It is fast, light and looks good.

Twikini offers a powerful and efficient way to use Twitter on your phone. It conveniently updates your favorite feeds in the background, and leverages the camera, GPS, media, touch screen, keyboard, graphics and storage capabilities of your device.

It is written entirely in C++ code for speed. There are a few themes to choose from to give the feel of customization.  The Windows Media Player integration is a nice touch to tweet what song you are listening to also.

While I do not have a device to test on, I liked the fact they state that one download works with both the touch and non-touch Windows Mobile devices.  Also it is supported on Windows Mobile 5, 6 and 6.1

Now if you blog about it, it is free.  If you want to buy it then pay the one-time $4.95 and you are off and running.  I think this means we get it free :-)

Twobile – yes another Windows mobile client

Twobile is just like the rest.  It seems there is not a lot of variance in what can be done on the Windows Mobile device clients.

They have a huge amount of information around all of the settings and features.  While it is a plain interface, it works and does a lot, just without all the graphical splash.

ceTwit – Windows Mobile client

ceTwit doesn’t have a facny homepage, just links to download the cab files.  I found a better review and screenshots here on spmwenkel’s blog from August 2008.

Navigating in the regular view is even easier. The up/down buttons still work, and there is also a scrollbar at the side of the screen. However, pressing left or right will PageUp/PageDown the screen, moving through 5 tweets at the time (depending on how many tweets you show on one screen normally). And if you’ve read through all your tweets and find yourself at the bottom of your list, simply go to the Menu and select the second item “Jump to top” in order to go back to the top of your list

Images are courtesy of the blog review and you should read it.  The whole posting is quite in depth and impressive in how ceTwit works.  Thorough!
