OMG, Is He Really Wearing a Twikini?!?

So do you got Twitter and want a better way to use it on your phone but your not one of the little rich kids that owns an iPhone (fine I admit it, I am jealous)? Are you like me and you have to settle for a lame Windows Mobile phone (the worst OS for phones, it's almost as effective as smoke signals, except you can't take pictures with smoke signals). There is a great solution to bring the power of Twitter to your WinMo OS phone. So I was told about about this snazzy little app called Twikini by my buddy @natefellman, the name is the funniest part, so is how they got it (video below). Here are some of the features that I loved!
  • It is FAST!

  • Simple, uncluttered, and customizable user interface.

  • Post tweets using a full screen editor. Optionally, set your location (either manually, using GPS coordinates, or geocoding) along with your status updates. (Screenshot)

  • Send and receive Direct Messages.

  • Twitpic integration to post photos with your status updates. Select existing photos or click new ones from your device's camera. When reading tweets, view Twitpics inline (without having to open a separate browser). (Screenshot)

  • Read status updates just like browsing a web page. Quickly reply, retweet, favorite, or email other people's tweets. (Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2)

  • Windows Media Player integration. Automatically tweet the song and artist you're listening to. See a realtime feed of other people using it on Twitter.

  • URL shortening services including Bit.ly, TinyURL and Digg.
