Always nice to tweet from a phone.

Oh man – bugger me, see what I mean? Your name beats me every time. I vote we change it to 'fred' – seriously, I think I can handle that one. You up for that? 🙂

In reply to patrickj. Oh yeah! Thats a neat trick, how'd you do that? The link goes to my page (@ShobizzNess) but the link says @Showbizness! Oh well, long as it works! :)

Huh? That's the name I've got there. Click the link and it goes to your Twitter profile page right? Anyway, think we both have similar thoughts on this app, and just like different things in terms of a Twitter app's UI. I'm glad I checked it out too – thanks for the suggestion 🙂

HEY!!! That's not my name! lol My twitter is actually @ShobizzNess, but good try! 🙂 I like the review, and I can agree with you on many points. When I informed you of this app, I think I had it for about 2 hours, and I was originally digging the amount of features it had packed in. I had found that with the few twitter apps i'd tried, each one had certain things I liked while missing something else a different app might have had. I'd like to add a few side notes: The Push notifications are horrible. I've been getting anywhere from a 9 to 53 minute delay on my pushes. That's just terrible. Pretty much defeats the purpose of having that feature if you don't get notified until an hour later you've received a message. I've spoken to the dev about this issue and they've said it's slow due to how twitter is communicating with their client host(Or something like that). Sounds like there's some other issue to me.
Difference of opinion here on the UI, I like having more information displayed versus a simple look. I have good eyes(not saying you don't Patrick lolol) and soas long as it's cleanly seperated, I can deal with a lot of info being crammed into the small screen real estate.
As far as features, I love that this app agrees with both twitpic and tweetphoto, as well as a few others in its' in-app browser. I've had some trouble with compatibility with other apps. It also has built in support for twitlonger, which is key, and does automatic tweet shortening.
Overall I think it's a nice app, but definitely could use some polishing up. As Patrick pointed out I didn't notice anything groundbreaking with the update to 2.1.2 Only time will tell. Glad you checked it out!
