We knew it was coming — Twitter for Android. Well, “official” Twitter that is. From the initial looks of it and after 15 minutes of playing around with it, I give it a 3.7 out of 5 (absolutely no scientific reasoning behind that…). I mean, it seems a little plain to me. Not that I want a cluttered, heavy, slow app of course. It just seems like it’s missing something.
The features are as one would expect from your typical Android Twitter app these days: Replies, retweets, address book/camera integration, location aware, etc. etc. Will it replace Seesmic in my day to day Twitter usage? Ehhh, that’s a bit of a stretch. I’ll have to give it a little more play time before I make that decision.
The only truly terrible thing I can think of is the fact that it requires Android 2.1 or above. Ya, that sucks for pretty much…1/2 of the Android population. Sorry guys, look but don’t touch…
Anyway, it’s out, it’s free. Go get it! Then, come back here and tell us how you like it.
**Update: Ok, after a few hours I have one big gripe — no multiple account support. And yes, it’s a major problem as I have two accounts (Gadgetsteria and personal). Let’s hope Twitter is light on their feet and get this added in rather quickly. Anyone else have any praises/criticisms?
