I'm not a Microsoft fanboy, I am just very well trained in their technologies. I have been developing using Microsoft products for many, many years. So I have been rather upset lately at all the hype of the iPhone. It lacks so many features that Windows Mobile has had for so long. I use a Blackjack II. Prior to that I used MS Pocket PCs and other Windows Mobile smartphones. I have written many applications over the years for these types of phones. But I haven't nor have I seen anyone else write an application as smooth and useful as Twikini.
I am very excited to use this app. Hopefully because of it's speed and ease of use, not to mention its extensive featureset it will convince iPhone users that Windows Mobile is one hell of a competitor.
Below are the features from the product's site. It is well worth the download and very, very! cost efficient. Priced how mobile apps should be.
Overview
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.
Our goal is to make Twikini the best designed Twitter app for Windows devices
in the world.
