Windows Mobile Louisville

Twikini is yet another Twitter app (amongst numerous available) for Windows Phones, and it’s pretty snappy!  I stumbled upon it over at WM Experts and after trying it out today, I’ll say I’m very impressed. 

I’ve been using PockeTwit for quite a while now,  but Twikini could become my new Twitter app of choice!  The app is very fast, and has a full assortment of cool features.  I look forward to running it through it’s paces thoroughly, then I intend on doing a comparison review of Twikini vs. PockeTwit and the other offerings.   After the break, I give a quick-and-dirty first impression.  Here are some of the features:

• It’s written entirely in native C++ code which makes it blazingly fast.
• The interface is straightforward, simple and uncluttered.
• You get a full-screen editor for posting tweets, and there are lots of options (adding a photo, shortening URL, adding GPS coordinates or location…)
• It’s easy to send & receive direct messages.
• Along with Twitpic integration for posting photos with your status updates, you can view Twitpics right in the app (without having to open a browser) which is very cool.  Lots of people are tweeting with Twitpics included.
• There’s Windows Media Player integration, which is interesting.  You can tweet the song you are listening to (does that qualify as TMI?!).
• Shorten long URL’s with shortening services including Bit.ly, TinyURL and Digg.
• There is one single CAB file that is compatible with all Windows® Mobile devices - both touch and non-touch.
• And lots more…
