Wow, the app looks AMAZING. I love twitter and twitterberry has always worked good on my Storm but this app looks like it should have come PRE-INSTALLED ON THE STORM!!!!! The timeline screen is a LOT better than twitterberry. It looks VERY clean and the bottom dock looks like it definitely belongs on the Storm. Very good job. When are you looking at releasing it by?
Whenever it is, it's not soon enough....

Also, can you add notifications for tweets that shows up in the small icons at the top of the home screen like e-mail, Google Talk, BBM, InstanGo, etc? I'm sure there's a special name for it, but I'm not sure what that's called.
One last thing, sign me up for beta testing.

Some thoughts: (I'm not demanding any of these, just trying to be helpful)
- Add an @replies button or option
- Remove or de-emphasize the DM button. I don't think direct message needs it's own button, maybe just have it in the options menu
- Make sure links are clickable, like SMS links are
- Maybe add a retweet option when you press the menu button?
Above all, I think that you should really just go for a simple & fast app.
Here's an excerpt from a great article about TwitterFon, pretty much the best Twitter client for that macintosh phone:
TwitterFon, by Japanese developer Kazuho Okui is, in the author�s own words �a simple and fast Twitter client for your iPhone�. Unlike other apps such as Twinkle, it has a plain, simple background, and really tries to stick to the basics - no geo social networking, no ability to �broadcast your location� - just a clean, simple Twitter interface. More apps should try to copy the TwitterFon formula and emphasize design and functionality over features. TwitterFon is truly a pleasure to use: it�s clear that the developers have spent considerable time and energy trying to build the perfect, minimalist twitter client - without getting tempted by extraneous features.

It's not that difficult, as it's all in XML, it's just gonna take a while to figure out how I want everything to parse data and show up in the interface, and such.Haha, wow, I was working on my own client which looks very similar to this. Looks like I'll hold off on my dev until I see what you've got...
congrats! and gimme
So please, continue, and we'll see what happens. I'd love to see what ideas you have for your app!03-12-09 06:33 PM - Wow...from the screenshot it looks awesome! I'm a pretty happy twitterberry user at the moment but this app might sway me away. Make sure to include Twitpic support! One thing I hate about Twitterberry is that it adds the twitpic link to the beginning of the tweet. You should include an option to pick between including it at the beginning or at the end. Just my 2 cents. Overall I'm super excited about this app!
And of course, if you need a beta tester I'm totally in.
