I liked the interface and found my feed very easy to read. They also had a lot of notification options. However, I didn't like that I had to click on menu to change views between Friends, Mentions, Messages and Search. Perhaps there is a way to change this, but I was unable to find it.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>TweetsRide</b> - 4/5 rating</div><div>I liked the post a photo feature. Also, when I clicked on a tweet, it was easy to retweet, reply and retweet with a comment. Overall, it was a very easy to use app and one I will recommend if you like to tweet pics. Fast upload and easy interface!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Twidroid</b> - 4/5 rating</div><div>I like the nearby search function. We have a great downtown in Greenville, SC. I was able to look up downtown nearby me and got lots of tweets regarding last night's Downtown Alive event. I really likes the interface and the one touch menu at the bottom. I was able to upload a picture very easily. I really enjoyed using this App.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>XeekuTweet</b> - 2/5 rating</div><div>A good App overall. Felt a little clunky. Nothing that sets this App aside from the others. I found a lot of errors in the interface and had some trouble loading different pages. Not one I would recommend. Could be better with some work.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Overall, I would recommend </span><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Twidroid</span></i></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">. It was easy to use, had all the features I was looking for and looked great.</span></div>bloggingProhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15802515013978291798noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768327891323818107.post-51928179759016414472010-04-15T11:48:00.001-07:002010-04-15T11:57:08.954-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5GUfGIeZJgzy20_gdvpIBYGPnQju9RXNcntpj-lKkFg0InAuq2QGjtSxThomv-rEWbfPrrry244-ymYHEPjFm-lxTZNmm8pLKrdC2ljC8ez7RDXpPPhLfEhasBR2ZwlRLrSbWffo8InoB/s1600/twitter-bird.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5GUfGIeZJgzy20_gdvpIBYGPnQju9RXNcntpj-lKkFg0InAuq2QGjtSxThomv-rEWbfPrrry244-ymYHEPjFm-lxTZNmm8pLKrdC2ljC8ez7RDXpPPhLfEhasBR2ZwlRLrSbWffo8InoB/s400/twitter-bird.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460438372606746370" /></a><br />I am currently testing out a few Twitter Apps on my Droid and will be posting a review of each and which is my favorite.<div><br /></div><div>When doing my initial search in the Droid App Market, I found LOTS to choose from!

I decided to download <span style="font-weight: bold;">Free Advanced Task Manager</span> and I quickly was able to close some of the Apps I didn't need running. I am using the free version.

The camera takes some getting used to. I have been using the LG Dare's camera phone for about 1 1/2 years and got used to the interface. I like the Droid's interface, it is just a change from what I know. I am VERY impressed with the Droid camera's quality. As you can see, it takes a nice picture! I look forward to taking many more and sharing them on this blog.bloggingProhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15802515013978291798noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768327891323818107.post-71446636715573223802010-04-13T20:43:00.000-07:002010-04-14T07:08:24.605-07:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">Things I am planning for this blog...</span><br /><br /><ul><li><a href="http://addicted2droid.blogspot.com/search/label/Droid%20App%20of%20the%20Day">Droid App Reviews</a></li><li><a href="http://addicted2droid.blogspot.com/search/label/pictures">Pictures from my Droid</a></li><li>Droid Tips &amp; Tricks</li><li>Droid Troubleshooting</li><li>Droid Success Stories</li><li>Droid Issues (none so far!!!)</li></ul><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Can't wait to share my experiences!
