Best WM Twitter client for HD: PockeTwit?

I need to present a Winmobile Twitter client, and have stumbled over PockeTwit http://code.google.com/p/pocketwit/.
But how does one control it on the HD? There is no menu on the twits screen. FYI I read that with 5-minute updates set it generates around 5MB of mobile traffic per day.
Recommendations for any other client?
Update: Ah, I got it - the twits list needs to be finger dragged to left or right, and reveals the menu items. Of course, its a touch device
WindowsMobileCool has a nice Top 5 client review: http://bit.ly/IaFJ (thanks Techno-Freak)

twitter
Hello. I searched for a good twitter client for a while now but not found a client that runs smoothly. pocketwit works best of them I found, but im not satisfied with it. Is there anyone who found something better?

I used to use Pockettwit - loved the interface, found it a joy to use - but bloated
I use cetwit
Code:
http://www.kosertech.com/blog/?p=346
Works well on the HD, set the dpi to 67 under themes/notifications and activate avatars!

I use cetwit to. but its not so fingerfriendly....

having issues with Cetwit - have moved along to 'tiny twitter'

pocketwit seems like the best twitter of all on windows mobile right now. i tried tinytwitter but it doesn't update properly

Pockettwit is great. A flip to the left and you have lots of menu, a flip to the right, even more options. Great for twittering, and the bugs are being worked out as we speak.

New addition, now in Beta (free during beta):
http://www.trinketsoftware.com/Twikini/default.aspx

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}

using twikini also, seems solid and finger friendly

tried twickini - not impressed - even in small font the text for each twitter goes off screen so you have to choose that specific twitter to read the full text.
Also, fastest update setting is every 5mins, which doesnt feel anything like quick enough.
on the plus side, it loads quickly and doesnt appear to use much memory. i'll be sticking with pockettwit though.

List keeps growing, here's a nice home plugin for WM: TwitToday - twit directly from your home screen or Secondtoday (if you use no other GUI).
http://dalelane.co.uk/page.php?id=1047

+1 to Twikini. Just does what it says in the tin ! Perfect for me

and another for twikini. written in c it seems much more responsive and an update is out in the next couple of days.

Wow. Listen. I have bought a brand new HTC Touch HD, which I'm starting to like.... But 2 major problems:
1) ActiveSync suddenly wasn't working anymore.
2) I couldn't open my attachments when receiving e-mails.
3) Twikini wasn't updating properly anmore.
Alright, point 3 is an easy fix:
After uninstalling Twikini, point 1 and 2 are both resolved!
How sick is that? Wow. Hate Twikini from now on (it was the latest version). Alright, i know what Beta means, but hey, don't mess with my other applications!

Did you try a hard reset before start using the device?
Twikini runs well on my numerous times flashed TouchHD and Treo Pro.
Giving feedback to developer would give better results rather than just hate an application while the problem lays probably somewhere else

pocket twit
i go with pocketwit as twikini doesn't have a search feature. Also you have to pay for twikini yes i know its dirt cheap, but they aint having my cc details.
However since flashing the latest energy 6.5 rom pocke twit will not work. Anybody know any solutions?

Twikini as well for me.

PocketTwit is ok but a bit heavy in terms of footprint. TinyTwitter is good but it doesn't close the process when the app is closed which is painful. Bit annoying..twikini is my shout!

Twikini....
Hi guys,
Ive been using Twikini for a while now, and have tried others.
I highly recomend this app, and is very easy to use.

[GAME] Teeter

Everyone loves Teeter right? I'm sure there'll be lots of shoddy ports for WP7 on launch, so I decided to do it right and first
Obviously, I'm pretty sure the name is trademarked, so will have to be changed before release...
Here's some screenshots of my progress so far :
UI

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Engine
(Cant post images or real links as I'm a new user )
I'm looking for designers to come up with a possible alternate style, to diferentiate from the original teeter slightly. Maybe themed worlds?
I'm open to ideas

I edited your post to add images
Nice work!

I wrote an article about this, which should give you some support for your app and maybe a few people who will be willing to help with designs...
Will come out at 3 pm EST today.

thats great news Guess that gives me more motivation to finish it then

And how about a real Metro UI skin? I guess it will look great!

A metro UI skin is a great idea, just not sure about how to pull it off well, will give it a try though

Make everything a blue block? I joke, of course Very nice work, looking forward to see how this comes along, as this is by far my favorite Windows Mobile game.

Nice job, OP! I wouldn't be surprised if HTC have already made a port, but this is still very cool.
My only comment is the 3D view looks a bit strange. There is no real depth, just the 2D Window rotating in 3D space. Look on youtube for "labyrinth 3D".
Keep up the great work!

I forgot to mention, that view is just for the emulator, as I cant really pick up my monitor and tilt it around
As soon as I get a real device to test on, I'll move everything over to the real G-Sensor, and lose the pseudo 3d kinda thing
ALLTHOUGH
I could easily make the 3D view better and have this as an alternate to using the G-Sensor, perhaps as an option from the menu? All input is helpful at this stage
Also, anyone who wants to follow my dev work, my twitter is @lordadamwalker.
Not much stuff about this project yet, but I only started yesterday morning, so It'll be there. Best way to keep updated

I would like a natural Port of the Game most.
Please add a Missionselector after one managed the final level.
If you make a Metro SKin please make it alternative, some people dont like it all the time.
Also I think Stability and low latenzity is more importent the difficult View, you should set your priorities according to that.

looking fwd to see how this game turns out...

A direct port is where I'm starting certainly, any extra features I can add when I finish the engine completely.
There will be a level selector for completed levels.
And there will definitely be a choice of skin to suit all tastes
Performance and reliability are my key focus, so rest assured the engine will be well tested and tuned

Not one to double post, but I now have access to a Windows Phone 7 device, so I should be able to make some real progress. Updates coming very soon

well?
Where is the port?

You might have better luck finding the OP on twitter. He hasn't logged into XDA since May last year.

[Released V1.3]Daily Series : Tv shows tracking app

Hello,
The app is composed of 3 main screens:
1 panorama containing
- "my daily" : the incoming episodes. with buttons to mark episodes as acquired / watched. orange is for "aired" blue is for "acquired"
- "manager" : to manage favorite shows / add shows to favorites
- What's new : a random selection of the last updated shows.
Here are a few screen caps :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
White theme
1 other panorama containing the details on a show :
and a page containing details about each episode.
Off course, settings and "about"
it shows the number of episodes aired since the last launch of the app
video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3sh6jF4t6o
This app has been released in french, english and spanish, german should come soon
Data about episodes and shows are available thanks to tvDb.
V1.3 :
- language bug fixed, you can now look for a show in your native language (if supported by tvdb)
- show posters can now be saved to your picture library (they make excellent lock screens)
- diverse other improvements
http://www.dwilin.com/

Hey man, looks pretty good.
One thing that popped out at me: The refresh/sync button in the first set of screen shots. It looks like it will be a bit hard to hit (I've got fat fingers ). For an end users point of view it would probably be better in the application bar (although it may look a bit lonely there).
just my twocents

hello
Thanks for your answer !
it's a good suggestion, we will take care of this tonight
ps: video is (finally) working

youtube tag doesn't work?

Looks good. I really like the fact you get info on every episode of the show. It would be cool if would add reminders and live tile notifications of upcoming episodes. If that was added I'd pay $1.99 and if not $.99.
It is a nice app either way, but it would be a hard sell for more than 2 bucks.
Sent from my SGH-T849 using XDA App

I had one of these types of apps in progress before I just gave up on it due to not really feeling like finishing it. One idea that I wanted to integrate into mine, but never found out if it was possible was something like a calendar sync. You hit the button and bam, it will add it to your calendar to remind you which night a certain show might be premiering or returning to TV.

thanks yor your answers,
for the calendar, we wanted to do so, but no api is available in WP7, the only possibility was for us to access the users gmail account and send reminders in.
But it implied storing personal connection data, and we don't like that.
If new apis are available in new wp7 updates we will probably check it out
for the live tile, I think it will be in a V2

Looking good. Was actually looking for an app like this. I assume it will only show the original airdates in the country of origin? Would it somehow be possible to let the user add a custom day of week, so they can check what shows are on that day?

Hello
We originally wanted to convert airtime to the users timezone, but we don't have the "original timezone' information on tvdb.
For your other question : I didn't really understand what you mean.
(or maybe?) : you would like to see what airs on tuesdays for example?
or for a specific date?

Let's say I've added Big Bang Theory to my watch list. In the UK this show is on a Wednesday, so I'd assign that day to this show. Someone else might be watching the repeat on Fridays, so they pick that day instead.
Then somewhere in the app, I could check what's on each day of the week and if I looked on Wednesday it would list Big Bang Theory and any other shows I've flagged for that day.
It wouldn't have to have to say what episode or anything (no dates or times either), just that the show is on. Like a reminder and personalized TV guide.
I think it would be a great feature considering the fact that most shows air on different days around the world.

Appologies if this is already covered in the app, I didn't see it in the screenshots or video though.
Protip: Please add a notice in the app saying something along the lines of "All data provided by TheTVDB.com" and "if you enjoy our services and can afford it, please show us by donating" linking to our Donate page.
Also be advised there will be an official TheTVDB client in the future, with interactive functionality - i.e. ratings, personalized recommendations and so on. You've done some good work here though. If there are any API calls you feel could be optimized for mobile, do let me know (some have already been re-written specifically for WP7, although they are still in private testing).

Hello,
there is already the "about" section containing informations and links to tvdb. (I contacted Scott about this app)
News :
we added the live tile functionality!
If a new episode airs, the live tile will be updated.

Lol I actually thought the App had been released and searched for it...
Ugh I'm liking this app alot (Manga!!!!!) and I'd like to know if you guys have a time frame or any new developments
As for price, most might disagree with me.. But I do value the effort developers put towards their apps, and I am not afraid to go as far as $4-5 depending how fast updates and the application works. It's a service to us and an income to you ;-) Hopefully lol.

Hello,
We are currently tweaking the app to make it as fast as it gets and once it's done, it will be sent for validation to microsoft.

The key point: It's developed entirely using TouchDevelop, Microsoft's Research on device programming environment. Means it is developed solely right on Windows Phone itself.
On device programming could actually turn out to be a big thing.
Hope to see it on XDA TV.

In next updates will add: Italian and Portuguese languages, some fixes and sounds that users asked.
Sometimes could crash server (I host sounds in my own server, but buying more bandwidth as my apps is being more downloaded).

[GUI][APP] Instapaper for Windows 8

Hello! I'm a designer who loves Metro. I'm tired of seeing the lackluster Metro app design currently plaguing the Windows Store. While there are some fantastic designs, many apps are just boring or don't fit in well with the Metro design language.
I'm here to help. I'm offering my design skills at no cost, all I ask for is one line of credit in the app's About page.
This is my first design. It's a complete GUI for Instapaper. It's very clean, modern, and most certainly Metro. It's extremely simplistic, but still has everything you could want from an Instapaper app. This app rivals even the official Android and iOS Instapaper apps. The design is based around the Bing News app and the People app. If you're interested in developing this app, I feel you could charge at least $3 in the Store, and make a good profit, which I would want no part of.
Below are some images. I have PSDs of every interface from the log in to creating a new folder. If you're seriously interested in developing this app, either send me a message or post below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

This is really awesome sir,Im sure someone would be interested in developing such a great design

Aaaagh... don't quote huge OPs like that, please! Just hit Quick Reply and don't use the "Quote message in reply?" option. It just makes the page really long and makes it hard to find the breaks between posts...
To the OP: looks very nice. I hope you find a dev to work with. A few things to keep in mind:
1) Different resolutions, and scaling between them. What looks great on the Surface's 1366x768 will look pretty bad on my desktop's 2560x1440.
2) Different aspect ratios. Tablets in particular are sometimes used in portrait aspect ratio. It would be great to have a good UI for using the app like that too; not enough Store apps handle that well.
3) Snapping the app to one side or the other. This makes it much thinner and also removes the ability to open the App Bar (right-click or swipe in from top/bottom) and Charms bar for that app, so if it's going to be useful in the snapped view it should offer the most critical controls directly to the user in this interface. Skype, Xbox Music, and even Mail do decent jobs of this, although they aren't necessarily pretty.

I do have designs for every view/position (I haven't done anything about scalability, but I have ideas on how to work with that). I only posted the two main views in dark/light varients to make sure people could get a good solid understand of how it will work and function. I have PSD's for almost everything that's needed. I've found someone who says they'd like to work on it.

Its looks very nice... and clean...:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

You should undertake overhauling a well known open source windows software. Most of them dont have a metro counterpart. Just pick anything, i can see you have a pretty functional design understanding.
