More review of swype on my G1

I have been using swype for android for about a week now and I am pleased with it so far. If you use the on-screen keyboard a lot, it makes entry faster and smoother.

The built in dictionary is large and it is not difficult to add new words. I am not sure how to remove custom words; however, I have not had a need to remove one yet.

I am curious about the price structure for the release version, I am getting used to this text entry system and would not like having to give it up because they set a price point that is out of reason for the product. There is a very large potential customer base for this software and I feel they would make more by selling at a lower price, with more copies sold than a high price and few copies sold.

Overall, this is a nice software package that I would recommend to anyone that has an android based phone.

Thanks to Andrew Spellman for turning me onto this software.

Review of twicca, a twitter app for android

I have been using twicca for a couple of weeks now and feel it could replace Twidroid except for the lack of url shortening.  To me this is a deal breaker due to the inherent length limits with twitter. I will continue to watch it and if they add url shortening, I will look at it again.

Swype update

I have been using Swype for a short time and like it. It is software I would pay for, it would be worth it.

Review of Twidroid twitter app

I have been using Twidroid as long as I have been using twitter.  I have also installed the plugin for adding your location to a tweet.  I have settled into using it more than I use Swift.  I find it to solid functional software. I have not found any bugs in it myself.  The only issue that I have is the size of the application.  At over 1 meg, it takes up a lot of space in storage for what it does. For a user on a stock G1, progam space is a very limited resource.  Since I have rooted my phone and the rom I prefer automatically uses apps2sd, I do not have this space issue.

I would recommend Twidroid if you have the space or run a rom that works around that issue.  Otherwise take a real close look at Swift, which seems to work just as well except for the geolocation.

Review of Swift twitter app

I have decided I should write some reviews of the apps that I check out on my phone.  I am going to start with the twitter client called Swift.

Overall it is a nice, small app for twitter.  The interface is nice to work with once a person discovers the bar on top with your username is a menu. With features including the ability to search for other users, search all twitter, following and unfollowing, it does most of what you can do from a computer.

On the down side, the notification does not indicate how many new messages there are and it does not have the ability to include location in a tweet.

I am currently switching back and forth between this app and Twidroid for my twitter needs.  I will write a review of Twidroid later.
