Two apps I have reviewed recently received some interesting updates. First, Boxcar (read my review here) has gone completely free. The application itself isn’t the only thing that costs nothing, individual notification services has made the transformation as well. Boxcar now uses an ad based revenue model, which I unfortunately cannot report on. Those that [...]

I’ve been up and down on this whole thing. Worse, I’ve even considered my own usage patterns and how I could possibly save money by switching. In the meantime, I’ve been on the prowl to gather opinions on the situation. Professional opinions from prominent tech blogs and podcasts still see this as a massive atrocity, [...]

It’s going to be mighty difficult to write a review for Icebird. This Twitter app looks great, runs powerfully smooth, and is fully featured. BUT!, on all bases, it just doesn’t compare to Twitter’s newly crowned official application. I started using Icebird for about a week or two before the Tweetie 2 flip and I [...]

Today, @BlackBerryBlog sent out a tweet that an updated version of Twitter for BlackBerry will start rolling out. It should be fully available to everyone by this evening. If you check the pic posted above, you can see that the new version will be 1.0.0.40. Ever since RIM opened up BlackBerry Beta Zone and rolled [...]

What a night! First, Twitter for iPhone is released (well, it’s kind of released) and Sprint Hero customers finally get theirs! According to various sites, T4i is being propagated through various App Stores around the world, and has yet to reach these shores. What we do know is that there are tons of new features [...]

I, like many smartphone users, belong to many social networks. I’m not nearly important enough to demand instant updates for the networks I subscribe to, but at the very least, I’ll know exactly how unpopular I am. Yes yes, I don’t get wall posts or @replies often, so when I do, I’d like to know [...]

Sometimes I feel like the a lot of the tiny useful apps for BlackBerry go un-noticed. Well today I’m featuring bit.lify for BlackBerry. I’m sure most of you are familiar with bit.lify or some type of url shortening service. You twitter users probably have a twitter app for BlackBerry with a url shortening tool as [...]

Oh Socialscope, what a love-hate relationship we BlackBerry users have with you. Socialscope has been in private beta for what seems like forever. The problem is once you manage to actually get in to the beta, you may or may not actually receive updates to the application before you move into a nursing home. How [...]

Twitter for Android just launched. That’s awesome! But, is it? Does it compete with the established brands such as Touiteur, Twidroid, even Seesmic? Well, it does sync your Twitter contacts with your Google contacts. That’s pretty neat. It does have list support, trending topics, search, location support, etc. And it surely has a nice design. [...]
