Windows Mobile, the redheaded stepchild… well more like grandfather of Mobile OS’s. The iPhone may have jumpstarted the “App Revolution”, but that doesn’t mean its get to have all the good apps to itself. I’ve tried most of the twitter apps for Windows Mobile and most of them aren’t up to snuff. Some are clumsy, others look nice but are dog slow. Up until recently I had been using Pocketwit, which was nice but had some annoying bugs
All that aside, I’m very glad to have found MoTweet’s by Panoramic Software.
As far as Windows Mobile UI’s go, moTweets is beautiful, with a fluid, finger friendly UI. According to its website, the app works on just about any screen res you can throw at it, including my Omnia with its fairly low res (240X400) screen.
Where moTweet’s really shines is ease of use. The icon in the upper right hand corner, when pressed brings up a navigation menu with one press access to mentions, DM’s and the public timeline.
Motweets also has advanced tweet posting options, with twit-pic, tiny-url and GPS integration. The latter I am unable to use as Verizon crippled and then half heartedly un-crippled the Omnia’s GPS features.
As you can see from the above screenshots, I am using the free ad-supported version of moTweets, the ads are so un-obtrusive that I see little need for the paid version. Which is available for $3.99
Overall I give moTweets a solid 4.0 out of 5, with deductions only for not having “ in timeline” Twitpic support and the lack of a twitter search option. Other then that, if you need a solid Twitter App for Windows Mobile…. give moTweets a shot
