Twim 1.15 with Auto-Refresh and TwitrPix Support

Posted on Saturday, August 22, 2009 by Tommi Laukkanen

Just finished testing the latest version of Twim, v1.15. Now you can also send your photos to new TwitrPix service.

I also added few options that you can configure via settings view. You can set Twim to automatically load the home screen tweets when application is started and you can also turn on the auto-refresh option that will automatically load new tweets in every 5 minutes. If new tweets are found then phone vibrates and plays a small beep sound. With this feature you won’t miss a single tweet again :)

New settings view

Full release notes:

TwitrPix support
Cancel option to media menu
Initial auto-refresh option with alarming of new tweets
Option to automatically load tweets on startup
Tab names changed: “Recent”>”Home”, “Friends”>”Following”
Fix for non-latin characters when posting photos (thanks Lexa!)

Have fun with the new Twim and download it from here. If you like the source code you can see that in here. Twim is still free as a free beer.

In case you didn’t know: Twim is a mobile Twitter client. I’m twittering with username @tlaukkanen.

Twim with Touchscreen Support

Posted on Monday, July 27, 2009 by Tommi Laukkanen

Here is the new version of Twim, the mobile Twitter client, now with experimental touchscreen support. I don’t own a real touchscreen phone (yet) so I had to test touchscreen functionality with emulators like Nokia N97 SDK (v1.0) and Microemulator. There were also few good people in Twitter that tested the beta version with N97 and Nokia 5800.

New 1.14 also includes other new features like Search, Twitvid, and Follow/Unfollow support. There are also minor improvements like now you will only have to answer to less security popups when uploading files since now it is only using READ mode instead of READ/WRITE that popped up tons of popups on my E71.

Go ahead and download the latest binaries from here and start Twittering! Let me know how the touchscreen support feels like on a real device since I can’t test it myself :)

Getting Things Done – With Mobile App

Posted on Saturday, July 11, 2009 by Tommi Laukkanen

Splash screen of the new GTD application.

I like to get things done. For years I’ve followed my own action management methods but recently I’m leaning towards the David Allen‘s GTD method which he describes in his book Gettings Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity. I have used many tools to store the actions like traditional pen and paper and several desktop apps, like MiniTask and Evernote. I haven’t found any decent (and simple) mobile apps to do the same. I have used the Groceries app for this purpose but it was lacking in some areas of usability. This was the reason I created the Mobile Task Manager application.

I got good feature ideas from Jorge Ledesma who is a blogger at NokiaMobileTalk.com. The current set of features include:

Create actions
Edit actions (with 3 key)
Mark action as done (with fire key)
Purge done items
Create folders
You can add notes to actions (with 9 key)
You can rearrange the actions (with left/right keys)
Mark action as favorite (with 7 key)
Backup actions to CSV file
