congratulations to thomas marban and his business partner ralph zimmerman who’s widely popular android twitter client twidroyd (formerly twidroid) and news aggregator popurls have just been acquired by tweetup.
read the whole story at techcrunch, gigaom or the official press release.
good friend and jajah iphone interface designer thomas marban just launched the first twitter client for the t-mobile g1 google android mobile phone called twidroid.
it’s the first twitter app for android mobiles. some of the highlights of twidroid‘s feature set are: fully featured twitter client (postings, replies and direct messages), user detail information, follow/unfollow a user, auto-completion of your contact names, secured operation via ssl, directly integrated photo-posting from cam or disk via phodroid.com, directly integrated search through all public tweets, background notifications for replies and direct messages, auto layout for landscape and portrait mode.
i just installed it on my t-mobile g1 and it works like a charm. i always admired thomas’ taste for great ui design, creative skills and eye for details and this is a great piece of work. so if you twitter and have a g1, go to ‘android market – applications – communication – twidroid’ and get the app, you’ll love it.
