Review : Twikini – A Light and Fast Twitter Client for Windows Mobile

twikini

You are active on Twitter and stuck with a heavy Twitter client on your windows mobile? Then here is a light weight, fast, reliable and appealing Twitter client for your windows mobile – Twikini.

I will just say ‘Wonderful’. As I have already told you, I am using a Win Mobile since some time and I have tried other Twitter clients too, but I will say Twikini is just the best. If you have tried the beta versions of Twikini and disappointed by its bugs and flaws, then you must give the final version 1.1 a try. Many things have been improved.

Some of the features of Twikini are:

  • Fast and ease of use
  • Unlike other Twitter apps its very light with user friendly interface
  • Simple and appealing
  • Twitpic Integration – So that you can embed pics along with your tweets taken either directly from your mobile camera or the pics stored on your mobile
  • Windows Media Player Integration
  • Ability to read public time line

Remember, recently we covered a video footage of the famous Symbian s60 Twitter Client – Gravity? Similarly, we have recorded a video of Twikini as well, so that you can see by yourself how fast, stable and simple this twitter client is. Just have a look at this video:

Nokia E75 vs N82 Image Gallery

Many people have been wondering about the size of the Nokia E75, worrying that it’s too big or that it doesn’t easily fit in a pocket. In order to set things straight, here is a small picture gallery comparing it to everyone’s favorite cameraphone Nseries, the Nokia N82. From the images, you can notice how well built the E75 is, how small it is, especially in terms of thickness compared to the N82, and how pocketable its form factor is.

Many of my friends have taken a look at the E75 and told me that they would love to own one, as it looks like a usual phone, but when you slide open the keypad, you get all the qwerty goodness and all the power inside. I have to say that I agree with them.

Nokia E75 vs E71, Camera Comparison

After having brought you an amazing E75 picture gallery, as well as a comparison of the device with its older brother, the Nokia E71, here is a comparison of both devices’ camera performance. Both handsets sport a 3.2MP camera, with no special lenses (ie no Carl Zeiss lenses like the ones found on Nseries), but with autofocus and an LED flash. Even though, on paper, the specs are pretty similar, the performance and the results speak for themselves. The E71’s pictures are grainy, washed out, have a violet tone to them, whereas the pictures taken by the E75 are more vibrant and more realistic.
