Twitula For Windows Mobile Professional - A Mobile Twitter Client

There is one other mobile twitter app that I am aware of but it never worked right for me and resorted to updating via SMS and reading posts via Pocket IE. I am glad to see there is another app to pick from.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.ehansberry.com/ppct/2008/20080805-twitula.png" border="0" /><br /><br />It has a nice look and feel, with features such as following your friends or the public timeline, seeing what messages were directed at you with the "d" command and seeing who you follow or who follows you. It is missing a few things I'd like to see though, like a scroll bar or ability to page up/down (right now it scrolls one line at a time), or the ability to see messages sent to you via the @ command. and the ability to hit the OK/Cancel buttons with soft keys. But all that said, this looks very promising, enough so that for now, I am using it instead of my SMS/PIE combo. It is free and can be downloaded as a CAB installer directly to your device from the link above.<br /></p>

Thanks for the heads-up, Ed. This looks promising. I haven't looked too hard for a Twitter client that doesn't require SMS. I don't want to pay for a text message package if I have any choice in the matter - they're way overpriced and I already pay for a data plan.

I use ceTwit, which both currently has a version 1.x and a release candidate for version 2.0 available. The RC is not a RC because it's buggy but because it still misses a feature (notifications specifically for DM/@replies). I also follow @vkoser which is the developer of ceTwit.

Before this I've used TinyTwitter, and I believe there are one or two others as well. :)

Hi folks.

I posted an updated version yesterday that addresses (at least in part) some of the issues Ed raised.

On the down side, results for the public timeline are currently incomplete or worse owing to Twitter apparently not being able to provide a consistent data feed through their API.

As an update to my previous comment, the public timeline feed is now back to normal.
