Hey guys, I'm about to get the iPhone 3G S at the end of the week and I'm a power Twitter user. So I was wondering what is the most recommended Twitter app for the iPhone?

I've heard that Tweetie is good, but need to pay $2.99. Also heard that Tweetdeck is very good for people who are familiar with Twitter and its free. But these two don't have push notifications. So that brings iTwitter into the question.

What are your views on Twitter apps? Push notifications isn't a must but it would definitely be cool to have.

Somehow, i'm against paying any amount of money for a Twitter app coz I think there are other pretty solid free Twitter apps out there. Alot of ppl seems to be using Twitterrific and Twitterfon. Haven't tried them myself.

However I'd prefer Tweetdeck mainly because having columns is a definite must for me smile.gif And also the ability to sync between the iPhone client and the desktop client (across multiple desktops too!). I think both of these features outweigh the lack of push notifications for now.

Of course, I'd be more than happy when/if Tweetdeck do introduce push notifications in the end biggrin.gif

Actually i want to know what is the best financial tracker app also. I used to like iSpend but it has lots of bugs since firmware 3.0. :/

you could try out iXpenseIt. have been using it and i think it's really good. seems to have everything that iSpend has (judging from iSpend's description on iTunes) and the user interface is very easy to navigate and intuitive.

they have a free Lite version, so you can give that a go first. all features are enabled, just that the Lite version is limited to total of 50 records. full version costs only $4.99, compared to iSpend's $9.99 price tag.

Am looking for an app similar to Qik (an app released recently which can be used to upload video taken on a 3GS to be posted on facebook, Twitter, etc) that has the same function but to upload photos taken on the phone instead of video. Anyone know of any similar app? Thx.

The Facebook app In iTunes store already has a feature for u to upload pics to ur facebook albums. For Twitter, most of the iPhone Twitter clients available like Tweetdeck already hve a feature that instantly lets u upload a picture to twitpic. Can either choose from ur existing photos in ur phone or snap a new one

For anyone who frequents the gym, try out iFitness. Substitudes the need for a personal trainer, with detailed instructions of over 250 diff exercises, with instructions, pictures, and they also recently added videos (vids require Internet connection).

There are a couple of other similar apps that do this, some for free, but what sets iFitness apart from these apps is the ability to record ur progress, create ur own custom workouts from the 250+ exercises, or even add ur own exercise to the list. My personal favourite feature is u can graph out ur own progress, coz it gives u a better visualization of how you're doing and it can be a great motivation.

For only $1.99 i think it's a very good deal for so many features. (Check out its iTunes page to check out the full list.) Plus they seem to be updating their app pretty often, adding more exercises, so it seems the devs are pretty commited to it. Updates are free, like all other apps. Currently the top downloaded app for the Health & Fitness section in the Malaysian and US iTunes store

The downside is there is no lite version to try out though.

@gunnerstkd @tinkerbel

i've actually just downloaded this app called FileAid. it's free, and me thinks it's similar to Air Sharing (i haven't tried Air Sharing yet). but it's not working for me though. can't start a connection to the iphone from my comp, something to do about not having permission to access folder. haih.

@sub7
currently using iFitness at the moment. pretty good app, helps me keep track with my progress. plus, i tend to forget exactly how much weights i used in my previous workouts, so app's ability to log your weights/reps/sets is fantastic.

on a totally unrelated note:

discovered this application: iPhone Explorer. http://www.iphone-explorer.com/
it's not an App store program and it's totally free. with this you can transfer any files to your iPhone via the USB cable. so you can now make your iPhone double-up as USB Disk Drive.

pair this up with another free app from App Store, FileAid, and you can now have file transfers BOTH over WiFi and cable. Since FileAid is paired up with DiskAid, as recommended by FileAid's developers, and DiskAid is shareware, you can just use iPhone Explorer as a FREE & LEGAL substitute to Diskaid.

Using iPhone Explorer, just transfers your documents to the same folder as DiskAid / FileAid, and you can now view your documents on your iPhone using FileAid.

Can this iphone explorer transfer mp3 song from pc to iphone in a substitute towards Itunes software?

nope, unfortunately you can't bro. you gotta stick to iTunes. anyways iTunes is already doing a pretty good job transferring mp3 from pc to iphone, don't really need a substitute there.

hmm... how's Ebuddy compared to Beejive? It has push as well..

Yup both have push. But ebuddy will stay connected for only 30 minutes after u close the app though, while beejive will stay connected always. If I'm not mistaken.

Didn't buy beejive, thought the 9.99 price tag was abit too steep for me. blush.gif

just tried out iXpenseIT its easy to use and pocket money is more complicated.

May I know whats the different between the free (lite version) and paid one ?

Limited to 200 expense records. Reading the app info in the app store helps.
