TweetDeck for iPhone is a great app for Twitter users

**monsitj** · 24-08-2009

Tweet on the go with all your favourite TweetDeck features on your iPhone. TweetDeck is your mobile browser for staying in touch with what’s happening now on Twitter from your iPhone or iPod Touch. TweetDeck shows you everything you want to see at once, so you can stay organised and up to date no matter where you are.

Create groups, search Twitter, manage multiple accounts and easily post your tweets or share photos, link and much more. Plus sync your existing TweetDeck columns between your desktop and iPhone. Nice and easy.

The application, free and can be downloaded from the App Store, enables the separation of contacts (and their tweets) individually arranged by categories. User can choose, for example, have a column with only updates from your friends, another with his own posts, a third with direct messages.

Change displayed column is simple: just slide your finger over the screen to the left or right. You can do the same by means of arrows at the bottom of the screen.

Messages are separated by columns
User can choose how many (and which) create categories. Can, for example, use columns up to other accounts on Twitter, for searches of posted messages and user groups. To do this simply click the Add Column. Clients for Twitter already tested by Macworld (U.S.), the mobile web is the application that best handles the issue of groups.

Usability
With so many navigation options available, it is likely that some users get confused, including unnecessary duplication. Is the case, for example, the buttons (right and left) at the bottom of the screen.

Not to mention that the settings option is hidden if the view mode is activated columns. It is likely that this could be resolved with the elimination of redundancies.

To alert the User's receipt of new messages, TweetDeck displays a pop-up not very nice and can not be customizable. The appeal, fortunately, can be disabled.

Customize new columns to your needs
Like most client applications of Twitter, TweetDeck integrates existing images on your smartphone or captured by the camera of the iPhone next to sites that offer services such as storage and yFrog TwitPic.

The keyboard, even with the 3.0 operating system installed on the iPhone, only works in portrait mode. And a cool option: the mobile web has a function to shorten URLs before the message is posted.

The iPhone TweetDeck offers synchronization with the desktop version made. This is possible because when using the application, a User Account is created in the service, where information is stored. No other client application Twitter, so far, offers have similar feature.

If a future application upgrade comes with a cleaner interface, the mobile web has everything to beat its main competitors, Tweetie and Twitterific. The mobile web works on any iPhone or iPod touch with OS 2.x or higher installed.

I'm very excited about the detailed TwitterDeck practice test. I suspect that the surface for iPhone's usability is too large .

I agree in principle. Unfortunately, the software is still badly unstable. Has already had numerous crashes. I think we should still wait until the thing more stable. Have already read some negative reports.

Windows Mobile users are not as rare as you think. Probably poorly researched. Just look at the example of the very successful HTC models, which always runs WM6.1 underneath. WM6.5 is the first RC version out there and has put old Windows Mobile Image. Reported here very often about it.

Unfortunately, this is even talk now about individual apps for the iPhone instead of remaining Manufacturer-to shame!
