Tweetdeck has been very well known for being one of the best twitter client for PC, iOS and etc. After the long wait, tweetdeck for Android finally arrives. It is still under beta but everything seems very promising.

Tweetdeck will be the direct competitor to Touiteur in my honest opinion. Both seems very good and serves me well indeed. Since tweetdeck is still under beta stage, I cant do much of a comparison between these two. Perhaps ill come back and do a review once Tweetdeck escaped from beta stage.

From what I’m seeing here, Touiteur has a premium version which includes auto link shortening functionality (link shrinking ). Tweetdeck beta on the other hand does this automatically. We still do not know either there would be a premium version of Tweetdeck or not but we all hope that its free.

Both client in my honest opinion has a good UI but I sorta like how Tweetdeck looks but still touiteur has a sleek design too. It is just that Tweetdeck ‘s UI seems to be out of the native android looks. UI designing can be casual or formal, when apps looks too close to how the OS UI looks like, it wouldn’t be so eye catchy in the end. In terms of UI, Tweetdeck has my vote.

Im not going to elaborate much longer on this. Once Tweetdeck escaped from beta and says hello to the market, I shall do a comparison again between these two.

And today we are seeing another HTC device leaked by BoyGeniusReports. Its like a Evo 4G in a nexus one body equipped with a kickstand. It dosent look like it has a hdmi output but surely it has the front facing camera for you myself selfshot love!.

Why does carriers have the best design? Why does the internal version looks ugly? Take look at the Desire HD / Ace leak.

The leaked device perhaps gonna be the Htc Merge but it could be another phone. Or perhaps, could it be the 4G phone for verizon?

Time will tell..

Well, this is what has just leaked, the official HTC Sense Froyo ROM for the HTC Desire.

ROM name : [ROM-FroYo] Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM (15/07 v1.0b | OpenDesire Team)

Another rumor is out apart from HTC Ace, now its the HTC Desire HD which is the follow up rumor to the HTC Ace device. This will be the next international flagship of HTC but with “normal” aka un”extraordinary” specs?

It is said that the next device would be :

- 4.3 inch screen (LCD or HTC own rival to super amoled?)

- 8MP camera with 720p video recording capabilities ()

- 4GB of internal storage

- 1Ghz Snapdragon processor

My own words to this, the 4.3 inch would be awesome. Seeing it as the GSM version of the Evo 4G and HTC has to make sure that it is comparable to the current leading screen which is the retina display (IPS) on iPhone4 and the SUPER AMOLED (yes, in capitals) on Samsung Galaxy S. Surely it won’t be an Amoled display as we know bout the Amoled shortage which is happening now. Seems like its going to be LCD just like the Evo 4G which is not bad at all as we all see it or HTC might be using its own LCD as we heard (i don’t think so).

The 8MP camera with 720p capabilites is a must, Droid Incredible and Evo 4G owns that feature and considering this is the update to the flagship HTC Desire, they should provide this on the new device.

4GB of internal storage is very handy eventhough most other manufacturers are going 8GB and above. Micro SD’s are appreciated in this situation, just make sure that there are more internal phone space for Apps installation regardless that Froyo enables moving apps to SD cards.

Last but not least, a 1Ghz snapdragon processor? OMG. The Droid X has TI OMAP 1Ghz which is better and the A4 chipset hummingbird on the Galaxy S is far superior in terms of GPU capabilities. Perhaps 1Ghz is sufficient but in terms of GPUs, the Adreno gpu on snapdragons are so yesterday. Perhaps this device is going to be another new snapdragon as they won’t be releasing the same chip on their new flagship which is not capable of running NFS Shift. Hopefully the new chip (1.5Ghz or dual-core based) would perform better than the previous 1Ghz snapdragon to stay on par with the current leading GPU monsters (Droid X and SGS).

By the way, did anyone noticed that NFS Shift which is demoed on the Nexus 1 is running smooth during Google I/O? How come they are saying that snapdragon adreno is not capable of running it at full frames and why we are not able to reproduce that same performance even on Nexus 1 FRF91? Thats a mystery for sure.

Its finally here with tactile feedback which previously did not work nicely. Now it does. Suitable for most type of android phone. Perhaps this is the best virtual keyboard for this period. It is quite accurate and comparable quality to the HTC IME keyboard mod by XDA. The Droid X sets the standard for how a virtual keyboard on Android should perform.

This is the demo version of NFS Speed Shift for Android. It was directly ripped from the Droid X by one of the guys attended the pre launch event. Seems to be working fine on the Droid X but what about other snapdragon devices? This game was demoed on Google I/O on Froyo Nexus One with app2sd. Do have a try too see if its working for your device. Retail version expected to be released after Froyo is rolled out to most phones.
