Since the time I got my Nexus One, I used a Twitter client called Seesmic, which I reviewed earlier this year. Not long ago I reviewed another Twitter client – Twicca. This time, my attention was attracted by another program of this type – Touiteur. This is a new application, which only recently changed its status to the final version. It is now available for download in the market.
There are plenty of Twitter clients available on the Android Market. I have previously reviewed Seesmic, and was quite happy with its functionality and user interface. One of my friends told me about another Twitter client – a program called Twicca. He argued that Twicca is one of the best twitter clients available for Android. So I decided to check it and compare. Twicca offers all of the necessary and most commonly used features: large number of settings, plug-in support, twitt color separation and much more – please see details below:
Today I want to look at two RSS readers. One application is from Google – a program called NewsRob. The other one is RSS WidgetBoards, which is completely unrelated to the NewsRob.
Today I want to have a look at two programs that allow you to quickly create notes. The programs are Magic Marker and DrawNoteK. Neither of these applications allows you to use keyboard to type notes, only drawings are allowed. Basically both programs are very simple drawing editors. Both applications have very similar functionality, the differences are only in some instruments.
I was recently looking for a RSS reader and found two high quality programs – ACast and NewsRob. Today I would like to talk about ACast. It turned out that this application is not just a RSS reader, but can also serve as a podcast management tool.
Nexus One does not offer any outstanding design features. Its design is quite typical for HTC, and is somehow similar to many recent touchphones. Big screen certainly catches the eye, but without a direct comparison with other phones, it doesn’t look that special. Metal edge encircles the screen and goes to the back cover. This is where you can engrave your name or something memorable when ordering the phone.
When I received my Nexus One and started playing with the latest version of Android, I realised that changing phone profiles was not straightforward and easy. When at work I usually put my phone on silent and turn the vibration on. To do that I had to go through few menus, which wasn’t very convenient. I then decided to search Market for applications that can simplify profile management. The first application that I found and installed was ProfileChanger by Cube Innovations.
I have finally received my Nexus One few days ago and have been playing with it since then. I am planning to write a series of in-depth reviews that will provide details about hardware and software components and compare the phone with other competing devices. In the first post I will cover positioning of the device on the market as I see it. Future posts will focus on design, controls, display, battery life, camera, software, etc.

There are a few programs available for Android that can properly remove installed applications or create data backups. However, for most of these programs application control is a secondary function (you will find that almost all file managers can do it). Therefore this functionality is either not that easy to use or doesn’t have all of the necessary options. AppControl is one of the first few programs (and I’m sure that more will come in the future) that are specifically designed to control installed applications. It can monitor installed software, delete or archive it, and perform many other functions.
These days you need to have a reliable and easy-to-use Twitter client. I have found a couple of nice ones for Android – Seesmic and Twidroid. In this article I will review the Seesmic, and describe what I liked about the program, what I didn’t, and quickly compare Seesmic and Twidroid. I will post Twidroid review in the near future as well.
