Tweetie App For iPhone

picture_4_bigger

Tweetie for iPhone has already been called the best Twitter iPhone app by most of the blogosphere, but I am going to put in my two cents worth. Tweetie is an all around good app, and is very stable and sleek.

In my opinion the interface is airy but still packs a punch as far as functionality. One of the coolest features not including its Twitter capabilities, is the fact that it is integrated with instapaper. This is a great feature even though I have not yet used it.

I really enjoy the fact that I can view TwitPic images without going to the webpage. This makes viewing them a lot less distracting. Not to mention the fact that it still has its own browser built in!

Since it has its own browser built in, I can view webpages within the app and not lose my place within the Twitter stream. But, I cannot just skip over the main feature, Twitter itself. Tweeting from this app even seems simpler than with other Twitter apps out there. Not only can you retweet, but you can also tweet in the landscap keyboard mode!

These compliments are quite mixed and given in no specific form, but they are the best things about the app.

I would most definitely suggest this to anyone looking for a good Twitter app for the iPhone. Check it out. It is most definitely worth your $3. And, with three themes to choose from and multiple ways to share tweets, you will never get bored!

ifrogz iPhone 3G Luxe Case

I was recently given the ifrogz iPhone 3G case as a gift from a family member, and was thrilled with it as soon as I opened it. Of course, it was black and orange so what do you expect?! The first thing I noticed was that it was very sturdy. I previously had been using a rubber cover, mainly to avoid scratches. This was decent also but that is for another review.

The sturdiness worried me at first. I don’t want a case to make my phone look bulky. I really like the look of the iPhone without a case, and in fact preferred it that way. The case was in two pieces, the larger one being orange. The bottom was black. The two pieces slide onto the phone and interlock, giving it a very secure but not damaging fit. This was yet another thing that I liked.

The previous rubber case would pick up lint from my pocket, causing dust buildup inside the case. This actually caused scratching on the phone’s corners. I did NOT want this to happen again. Thinking about this I hesitated to put the case on my phone. Finally I broke down and put it on.

In the next few days I noticed that the phone didn’t slip out of may hand anymore. This would obviously extend the life of the phone. I was beginning to love the case.

Something like a month later I decided to remove the case and see the damage. There wasn’t any! No dust had made its way into the case. Better, yet there were no scratches on the back whatsoever. Great case!

In summary:
I would suggest this case to anyone who asks about it.
It protected my phone in an exceptional manner.
It is so cool looking you won’t want to take it off.
And finally, It is a great buy for the price! (In my opinion.)
