One More Tap

Aside to TweetStack which we reviewed previously, I thought I’d review both Tweetie and Twitterfon Pro separately. However, I am currently stuck between using both amazing Twitter clients for the iPhone and iPod touch, and I thought I’d share my views thru this app vs app review. Read on to find out more!

Tweetie was one of the first paid Twitter client that I had the opportunity to try out. It comes with a very clean, polished interface and is one of the most competent Twitter clients available to date. I have a strong feeling Twitterific 2 made it to the public all thanks to the pressure of this app by one-man-show Loren Brichter.

I previously tried Twitterfon when it was free and there’s no Pro version to boot. It was one of the best free Twitter clients available at that time. However, when the Pro version came, with features like themes and multiple accounts support, I was somehow sold.

Road warriors and power users, pay attention – this is one product that will save your bacon in times to come.

Proporta offers the Universal Emergency Charger in two different packages.

I have tried a multitude of different clients, both on the desktop as well as mobile where I eventually stumbled upon TweetStack and liked the idea that I could actually import my ‘stacks’ from the TweetDeck desktop client into the application.

TweetStack is a full featured Twitter client, with the main selling point of being able to manage stacks. If you happened to follow a lot of Twitter users, you’ll start to get the idea of a clutter – lots of tweets, some useful, some utterly rubbish.

Space, the final frontier.

With all the craze surrounding the latest reboot of the Star Trek franchise, there’s been a number of releases related to the movie, including an official game, which basically consists of you piloting the NCC-1701 USS Enterprise as a fighter craft of sorts – yes, the official game is a an action-adventure shoot ‘em up game.

The VOID makes its attempt in filling up the void (no pun intended) of space-themed games. This is not your typical shoot ‘em up game.

You play the role of a janitor who dreamed of becoming a feared and renowned space pirate. Saving up your slave labor wages, you finally managed enough credits to purchase your own ship. And so begins your adventure into the vast openess of the galaxy.
