Fluttr App Review

Finally after a long wait and extensive beta testing, a great new Twitter Client for the iPhone/iPod Touch has been released. Fluttr is a great new client which features an extravagant UI, the best one I've seen in an application in a long time. Fluttr also has some features that makes it my new main Twitter Client. It's the only application that allows you to enable or disable the new Twitter ReTweet feature which some users do not like. Also you can have different wallpapers to be your background of your Timeline, Mentions, and etc. I've also heard from the app maker's Twitter feed that they're going to have themes in a future update.

You can purchase their app here for $3.99

BetterTouchTool

If you have a Apple Magic Mouse, or have requested one for Christmas, you may be interested in the awesome piece of software I've found. 

BetterTouchTool is software for Mac OSX 10.5 or 10.6 and allows functionality that Apple haven't already added to their Magic Mouse built in software. Developed by Boastr, the software is free to install and allows you to use the pinch, 1,2,3 and 4 finger taps along with a whole other bunch of gestures. It also allows you to tweak the mouse a little more than the normal 'System Preferences' defaults.

I recommend you to download and at least try it. Once you have, comment on this post about your experience and how well (or not) it works for you.

Happy Holidays!

Pics of the not-yet-released Google phone

Engadget recently posted this picture, the first of it's kind, of the Google phone. From these pics you can see how sexy this phone really is going to be. Now with any new phone, especially this one, it begs the question wether or not it will be the iPhone killer. Some people have been saying that the Droid is the iPhone killer. If you ask me, this won't either. However it will be by far the closest to it. And because we don't know very much about it, I obviously can't say with 100% certainty. So what do you guys think? What do you think it will be able to do? What feature would make you say good-bye to the iPhone?
