Twitter has overhauled its mobile experience on the web and on the iPhone and Android and this new version aims to make Twitter a simpler and much more visually-pleasing experience. Basically, Twitter wants to make this fly. The new user interface is available now via the apps on iPhone and Android and also through a mobile browser and it lays out four icons at the bottom: Home, Connect, Discover and Me. The Home tab will show you what’s in your timeline (including photos and videos) and this experience will be consistent across all the platforms. The Connect tab shows your @ features including the mentions and conversations. The Discover pane can show your trending hashtags, as well as use geolocation to find interesting topics around you. The Me tab shows your profile information and it shows your direct messages and other information about your account. Finally, your tweet button is at Read More

Lately I’ve been asked which Android software I’m using so I directed a friend to “my 30 essential Android apps,” the post I wrote about two months ago. However, not everyone likes my list – they want something more structured. Then I prepared the “must-have Android apps” list which goes through different kinds of Android software, helping people decided what they need for what purpose. I went into details in that article and that’s also not that cool for everyone – so here’s something in between, a structured list of apps divided by categories.

Widgets for Android - the essential list

So you want to install some widgets on your Android smartphone but are not sure which ones will help you out and which ones will, well, just occupy the precious screen estate. I’ve been testing so many options and here’s my definite list of must have widgets followed by the “optional stuff,” which I don’t use but know some people who love ‘em. Without further ado, let’s roll… One of the reasons I’m using an Android smartphone rather than the iPhone is that the latter doesn’t allow me to see my tasks without starting some app. With GTasks, you get to see all of your upcoming tasks at glance, right on the homescreen. Tasks are, as expected, synchronized with Google Tasks, allowing you to manage them from your computer. I also use GTasks as my shopping list. This tiny widget shows few of your upcoming calendar entries. You can choose which Read More

As part of our increasing focus on you, the loyal reader, we’re pleased to introduce a new weekly series called Topic Tuesday. Each Tuesday we’ll post a question for user-only discussion. In exchange for your opinions, we’ve increased the points for a comment upvote on these posts, so sharing something useful to the community will get you even more credit. Today’s question: What is the best Twitter app for Android? I’m sure we’ve had this discussion before, but the last post I could find was from 2009, so I think we’re ready for a revisit. In addition to user comments, we’ll make sure to get a few staffers to answer each Topic Tuesday, too. My favorite Twitter client has to be Tweetdeck. I’m in love with the column interface, especially the small yellow dots/lines that indicate when there are new tweets to be read. At a glance, I can see new tweets Read More

free Even though the Kindle comes pre-packed with its own Web browser, it never hurts to have a back-up. Dolphin Browser is a veritable trickster of a mobile browser. You can change this Android app's look and feel through custom themes, add capability with Add-ons, or even navigate by gesture. When you encounter a pesky mobile site, you can don a disguiseâfor example, you can masquerade as an iPadâto unlock the un-cropped page. Flummoxed by Flash? No more, so long as you're running Dolphin and Android 2.2. The browser lacks a full synching service, but it does support Google Bookmarks. Read More

What happens when an iPhone/Android app startup wants to get out of its Silicon Valley offices and into local communities to meet users, support local businesses, and see the country? A killer road trip transpires, of course. My Bizzy colleagues and I packed our bags and hit the road in a rented minivan this past July to drive cross-country from San Francisco to Boston. We hosted dinners and meet-ups in 16 cities along the way. In fact, we had such a great response that some of the team hit the road again in mid-September to travel from Portland, OR, to Seattle, WA. If you hit the road, be sure to have these apps on hand. Of course I'm going to include this. After all, we created Bizzy to allow you to easily share your experiences out and about with a simple "Check Out". Others can follow your journey and add any places they may Read More

As a self-proclaimed Twitter fiend, I like to tweet my thoughts and ramblings both at home and on the go. I used to just text my tweets to Twitter; soon, however, I discovered that I was missing out on a ton of high-quality tweets and conversations from the people I followed, since I couldn’t view the Twitter Newsfeed via text message and I wasn’t a huge fan of the Twitter mobile website. Thus I set out in search of a worthy Twitter Android app that would serve as my new way to tweet on the go. Now that I've used some of the most popular (and free) Twitter apps in the Android Market, here is my evaluation of how each one works.

| 05/11/2011 | Today, Twitter announced that it has started rolling out a new web app for mobile devices – both Android and iPhone – that can be found when going to Twitter.com in your favorite mobile browser. Twitter believes that the web app will provide a consistent experience for mobile Twitter users especially for those that don’t use or don’t have access to the official Twitter application. The app is quick and it will let you delve into your timeline, switch between tabs and even write tweets. It’ll support touch gestures and has been optimized for larger screen displays which means it won’t look funky on a phone with a huge screen like the Samsung Infuse 4G. Essentially, it acts and looks exactly like the official Twitter application only it’s accessible in the browser.

The Next Web

iPhone apps, Android apps, BlackBerry apps, Windows Mobile apps and Web browser apps. It seems our digital lives are surrounded and shaped by apps! Last year, in December, our very own Brad McCarty pondered on the day when web apps would replace web sites. He writes that at a time when so much of what we do is going mobile, going cloud-based and becoming accessible regardless of location, there are aspects to the application format that have to be given due attention. Kate O’Neill, Founder and CEO of [meta]marketer states, “It’s a very context-driven experience. While it could be very good, it could also be very onerous for site owners to keep up with. The question is how much value is it providing to the business of the website.” Four months later, the chatter has continued regarding the rise of web apps, and developers are looking for even more ways to augment Read More

Tapping into Android apps on the Motorola Xoom tablet literally introduces a new dimension to Google’s mobile operating experience. While the distinction between apps on tablets and smartphones on Android devices is less pronounced than what exists between the iPad and iPhone (as well as the iPod touch), there are a handful of great Android apps for the Motorola Xoom that you should consider downloading right out of the box. So, what are they? Shortly before the Xoom’s February 24 release date, Zynga’s immensely popular game Words With Friends debuted on Android’s devices. The Scrabble-like game, which is free, is much better suited to the tablet form factor than on any smartphone.

Android Apps - Daily video reviews by AndroidApps.com

Social networks keep you connected while you’re on the go, making them popular apps in the Android Market. Twitter updated its Android app after usage doubled these past few weeks, and Plixi (formerly TweetPhoto) debuted its app this week as well. Navigating with your Android is also an easy task, with MapQuest’s launch and Citysearch adding a Deals app to its catalog. Twitter stays at the center of your social life, with an update to its free Android app. You can now view trends, browse tweets and get recommended users to follow, without even signing-in. Its universal search makes it easier to find relevant tweets, and conversations have been simplified with retweet options and auto-complete for usernames. New Android app Plixi is already gaining popularity, probably because of its simplistic design that maintains their web experience. Take a photo with your phone’s camera, and immediately share it with friends on Twitter Read More

Finding stellar Android apps isn't the easiest task, but that certainly doesn't mean they don't exist. Here's the cream of the crop. Twitter: The official Twitter app is good enough for almost everyone. Along with giving you a clean, easy way to keep track of your timeline and updating your status, Twitter for Android also has a snazzy swipe down to refresh feature. Free. Facebook: Facebook is finally decent on Android and now actually brings some unique features, namely the front page side-scroll of friend's recent photos and a pull up notification window. Free. Google+: It's Google's big soiree into social "sharing". The app has it all: a stream that shows what your friends are talking about (like Facebook), Huddle which is an easy to set up group chats (like GroupMe) and will even automatically upload the pictures you take on your phone to the cloud (like iCloud).

Location-based check-ins are becoming the new “it” thing for a small subset of the population. The two biggest names (for now) Foursquare and Gowalla have seen some impressive growth over the last year. Foursquare has 4 million users up from merely 170,000 at the end of 2009 (source), and Gowalla has over 500,000 users (source). There is also the lesser known SCVNGR who is really beginning to gain momentum of it’s own, which as of November had half a million members, though it was not confirmed how many were active users (source). Each of these LBSN (Location Based Social Networks) has it’s own personality and options. Foursquare, has the largest number of users, offers Specials for either checking in, or if you are Mayor of a spot. Gowalla offers Pins, kind of like stamps in a passport; as well as Trips – a list of locations grouped together by either geographic Read More

Review: New Twitter for Android: Mobile «

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 17:05:40 UTC +00:00

jkOnTheRun

One of the reasons Twitter has arrived is the rise of the smartphone. Twitter is perfect for the mobile platform, as it lends itself well to quick sessions on the go. There have been no shortage of third-party Twitter apps on all major smartphone platforms, and the recent upgrade of Twitter’s own app for the iPad made it clear mobile was a focus for the company. A new version of the official Twitter app for Android was recently released, and I have been tweeting with it ever since. Twitter for Android keeps the light-blue-and-white theme that has come to represent the social network in the public consciousness. It has an uncluttered display that keeps the focus on the tweets at hand. This version is noticeably faster than previous versions, and scrolling is smooth. The main timeline display has some nice updates, primarily the ability to pull down on the timeline to Read More

Twitter on Wednesday released an updated version of its Android app that incorporates some features already available on other platforms and promises faster speeds. The micro-blogging site added a tweet details page to the Android app, which is accessible simply by clicking on a tweet. The feature, which is already available for the iPhone, iPad, and Windows Phone, makes it easier to click on links, reply, re-tweet, or favorite a tweet. The updated app also boasts speedier access. "In this version, we've tried a new way of drawing a timeline of Tweets that optimizes for scrolling speed. Try it out, and you'll see how much faster and smoother the timeline loads and scrolls," Twitter wrote in a blog post.

Another major Android app got an update today, so pay attention if you’re a fan of Twitter for Android. The official Twitter Android app received some sprucing up to be faster for reading timelines. According to the company’s official blog, the app now scrolls faster and smoother than ever before. You’ll need that bump in speed because the app is also more “polished” with hi-res avatars, continuous timelines, a new tweets detail page, and a the ability to retweet with comment! Being unable to quote a tweet and add your own opinion has been a non-starter for several users. And though we’ve previously encouraged people to use the add-on app “Retweet” as a workaround, the official app now handles this function natively. Twitter also added a “swipe to reveal” function that quickly shows options for sharing, responding, marking as a favorte, etc. It’s basically like the way Touiteur handles these functions, Read More

Apps are what make smartphones smarter. While the devices we purchase are still desirable as they ship, the appeal of expanding their feature set with apps drives smartphone adoption. Google TV is poised to do the same for home entertainment. Yes, the same platform that powers your phones and tablets has invaded your massive 50 inch screen with Google TV. Both the Logitech Revue set-top box and the Sony line of Google TV products have debuted to juice-up the television experience. While we won’t get any Android Market apps until early 2011, let’s look at what’s available now. My surround system is non-existent, but I still like to occasionally play music in my living room.

Twitter for Android updated to 1.04 bringing some UI tweaks – Android and Me

Wed, 22 Sep 2010 16:53:36 UTC +00:00

Android and Me

It seems the Twitter for Android application has gotten an update to version 1.04 in the Android market. Nothing official from the Twitter folks about exactly what’s included in the updated application, but I’ll try to walk through what I notice in the first few passes at the update. Most noticeably, the bird and cloud animation on the main screen is gone, replaced by two new menu selection buttons: you can now view trends and search Twitter right from the main screen. Still on the main screen, the icons look like they’ve been re-done to make them neater and a bit crisper. These UI changes on the main screen seem to be the only true changes to the application, but I’m sure there are also some bugfixes and behind the scenes enhancements built into there as well. Hopefully soon we will have official word from the Twitter team. We will, of Read More

Um, Where’s Twitter For Android On Twitter’s Top 10 Apps?

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00

TechCrunch

This evening Twitter CEO Evan Williams put up an interesting post about Twitter mobile usage. By just about every measurable metric, it seems to be skyrocketing. He also included a graph of the top 10 ways people are now using Twitter. This includes both Twitter’s own apps and third-party clients, but notably, Twitter for Android is nowhere to be seen. I’ve confirmed with Twitter that this isn’t a mistake. It seems that Twitter for Android is in fact not in the top 10 ways people interact with the service. That’s incredible considering that Twitter for iPhone is number 4 and Twitter for Blackberry is number 5. Both of those were built by the Twitter team, just as the Android app was. Even crazier, it’s behind third party clients TwitPic, TweetDeck, Echofon, UberTwitter, and even Google Friend Connect! Obviously, Twitter downplays that in the post (and by downplays, I mean, doesn’t mention Read More

Fri, 04 Jun 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00

Gizmodo, the Gadget Guide

This might be the best month ever for Android. We've seen Android 2.2, the future of Android and even Google gleefully mocking Apple. Oh yes, and there were a ton of awesome apps. If you'd like to view the following gallery as a single page, click here. Mint: You know Mint, right? Pretty much the best online personal finance manager around (so good, the company behind Quicken bought it). Now they have an Android app, and it is minty fresh, with full search integration, widgets and other Android-y goodness you can't get with their Android app. It's free—if you have Mint, it's a must-grab, and if you don't, maybe now's the time to check it out. Fring: A venerable multi-protocol app on many platforms, but I have three words for you regarding its latest Android version: Free. Video. Calling. The future is here folks, and it's on Android first. Adobe Reader: Read More

Fri, 04 Jun 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00

TechCrunch

We’ve written about the social city and nightlife mobile app, buzzd, which pulls its data from Twitter and other buzzd users, for a bigger picture of the places that are hot in a given location. The startup just released an Android app in December and today is launching a new version of its iPhone and BlackBerry apps that integrates location-based services in the mix. The buzzd network compiles information from its base of over a half-million users, Twitter, and other real-time sources to provide users with activity updates for almost half a million venues across the United States, the U.K. and Canada. You download the app and it will bring up a list of venues close to you that are currently popular based on people talking about them on Twitter and Buzzd. And the app now aggregates over 500,000 check-ins per day from Twitter, Foursquare, Gowalla, Brightkite, Loopt, Yelp, Whrrl and Read More

Twitter for Android a flexible and pleasant platform - The Globe and Mail

Mon, 10 May 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00

News from Canada and the world - The Globe and Mail

The ever-growing microblogging service Twitter has launched an official application for the Android (aptly named Twitter). This was soon after the announcement that Twitter entered into an agreement with Atebits to acquire Tweetie and brand it as the official iPhone app. The fact that Twitter would dare to create an official app built upon their own network has caused quite a stir in the development community -- you’d have thought all the devs were leaving the Twitterverse. After all, it will be hard to compete with the official app. Twitter claimed that due to the lack of an official app, everyone was losing out. Customers become confused and give up when they can’t find an official app, co-founder Evan William wrote in Twitter’s official announcement of the Tweetie take-over. It remains to be seen if the official release of Twitter apps will dramatically grow the already colossal social network. App available Read More

iPhone Apps: Find, share and track | Appolicious ™ iPhone App Directory

It wasn’t long after Twitter launched an official BlackBerry app and acquired the makers of the popular iPhone app, Tweetie, before an official Android app was revealed. With a growing mobile empire, it’s also evident that Twitter is improving its usability with each official app. Despite these efforts, the official Twitter app for Android may not convince you to switch from Twidroid or Seesmic (it only supports one account for now), though it’s off to a great start. One of the biggest features is the sync option with your phone’s Contacts list. The sync works two ways; letting you call a contact from the Twitter app, or accessing their Twitter profiles from the Contacts list. While you can’t send DMs from the Contacts list, you can view your friends’ most recent tweet. This sync option is significant because it shows the usability of social networking information within a personal device. This merging of Read More

Twitter for Android: the best apps reviewed -- Engadget

Fri, 07 May 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00

Engadget

You know what's awesome? Cookie dough ice cream. But when it comes to the smartphone market, the 18-month-old, steadily-growing Android platform is equally wondrous. Sure, Google may have a tiny bit of catching up to do when compared with Apple's market share, but at least Android users are already spoiled with a handful of good Twitter apps. Better yet, Twitter has now thrown in its official app to spice up the competition, so we thought it'd be interesting to put it head-to-head against the third-party clients. Read on to find out if we have a winner. Let's start off with a quick introduction to each of the Twitter clients that we'll be comparing, but do bear with us while we give the newcomer a slightly longer rundown: Twitter's first attempt with its own mobile app isn't a bad one -- it's certainly one of the prettiest choices in the market right Read More

Twitter Launches Its Official Android App

Social Media News and Web Tips – Mashable – The Social Media Guide

by Just weeks after launching an official BlackBerry app and acquiring Tweetie (which will become Twitter for iPhone), Twitter is out with another mobile application built in-house, this time for Google Android. The app is available immediately in the Android Market. Twitter’s Leland Rechis describes it on the company’s official blog, writing, “Reading tweets is easy in a bunch of places on your phone. Quickly access your timeline with the home screen widget, view a tweet location on a map, and see your friend’s latest tweet in your phonebook, GoogleTalk list or any application that uses Android’s QuickContact bar.” Twitter’s move to Android was expected, but marks the latest twist in the ongoing rift between Twitter and its third-party developers. In an interview with Mashable earlier this month, Seesmic CEO Loic Le Meur, whose company makes one of Twitter’s more popular Android apps, dismissed the competitive threat levied by Twitter. Now, Read More

Hands-on Twitter's official Android app | Crave - CNET

Technology News - CNET News

There are plenty of Twitter-helpers for Android, but only one that Twitter created in-house. It's been about a month since Twitter began contributing its official apps to the BlackBerry marketplace, rather than sitting back and letting third-party developers take the reins. We checked out Twitter's new, free, official in-house Android app over the weekend and for the most part, we've been liking what we see. While there's no shortage of third-party Twitter apps in the Android Market, Twitter's has an edge that the others don't--integrating contacts with the Android address book. That means you'll be able to view your buddy's Twitter photo and most recent update from the address book. The entry also serves as a shortcut for quickly jumping to the Twitter profile in question within the native Twitter app. (Too bad you can't tweet someone directly from here.) The rest of the app also holds its own against the Read More

Googling Google mobile edition

The most beautiful Android application I have used to date is the brand new Twitter app. Last night I fell in love with the new app, created by Twitter itself — and really, that’s kinda crappy since I feel like I’m cheating on a company I really really like: Seesmic. Rumor has it that Google will be including Twitter stuff into their Android API for Froyo (2.2) — which will make it extremely easy for applications to tap into this functionality. If that turns out to happen, developers will rejoice (except Seesmic and Twitdroid of course). As a developer, you must currently roll your own Twitter client if you want to incorporate that type of functionality — and with a host of independent Twitter applications, it’s impossible to create an app that hooks into Android’s intent system effectively. Applications should be able to reuse an already installed Twitter app by saying Read More
