Twikini is a Twitter client for mobile phones using Windows Mobile.

Features:

• simple, customizable UI
• written in C++
• all Twitter operations supported
• Twitpic supported
• Windows Media Player integration
• compatible with all Windows Mobile devices

The Good:

There is a lot to like about Twikini. The developer’s goal is to make Twikini the “best designed Twitter app for Windows devices in the world.” That is a lofty goal, but Twikini is off to a very good start. The download and installation process is simple, the UI is clean and uncomplicated and the ability to integrate with Twitpic and Windows Media Player is great. GPS is also supported so you can update your location any time you tweet. There are four different UI themes and a character counter to help when tweeting.

The Not-so-Good:

Only a couple of things jumped out at us in this category. The first was that when viewing tweets, Twikini displays the user’s “actual” name and not their Twitter @username, and we couldn’t find a way to tweak that in the customizations. Not a big deal, really. The second thing was that Twikini does not support more than one Twitter account at a time. You can switch between Twitter accounts, but you have to login each time you switch. This doesn’t detract from Twikini’s usability, but it is a bell (or whistle) that sure would be nice to have.

PockeTwit is a mobile app for Windows Mobile 6 smartphones that supports multiple Twitter and Identi.ca accounts.

Features:

• supports multiple Twitter and Identi.ca accounts
• map view shows users on world map and allows searching by region
• URL shortening with is.gd
• send photos to TwitPic
• integration with Twitter search
• clickable @names, URLs and #hashtags

The Good:

The UI for PockeTwit is fantastic, giving the smartphone an almost iPhone-like feel when using it. Users can find all the information they need about tweets in their timeline, @replies and DM, follow/unfollow, re-tweet and mark favorites. Updates can be posted from any user account. The search feature works well and the map feature is interesting.

The Not-so-Good:

As great as the UI is for PockeTwit, it can take a little while to get used to. Tweets from all accounts seem to show in the same presentation and that can take some figuring out as well. Other than that, there is little to complain about.
