    Where are the settings to get this updated? There is no time for updates. How do I update my timeline, not my tweets, but like automatic updates to my timeline.

    Hi,

    Twim is working great on my Motorola V3xx :)
    I used the O2 WAP Flat Patcher (http://mobdev.wordpress.com/2006/08/26/o2-wap-flat-patcher-version-01/) to modify the Useragent and add the x-wap-profile header to use it with my providers wap-flatrate (they only allow special useragents und require a x-wap-profile header to stop people from using it as a gprs flatrate for their laptop)

    Thank you for the application, but do you have any estimates about the amount of data being transfered each session?

  7. Tommi Laukkanen Says:

    Mani: Thanks! I just monitored the network traffic when I ran the Twim in an emulator. The recent list update was about 15kb and it should be quite the same for other views as well.

  8. Mani Says:

    Thanx Tommi, You know, for many people without unlimited data plans it is quite important to have an estimate of data transfer (and cost). I think it would be great if you gather more data and give the users a comparison table between SMS method and this Method :)

    I like I like :) from a Twitter addict who has tried every mobile twitter app out there. Prefer this to Tiny Twitter and jTwitter. Nice interface, and its snappy. Great work! And put me on the mailing list for updates :)

  10. Azhar Says:

    P.s. it’d be nice if it said “posted from Twim” next to the tweet, instead of from Web :)

  11. Tommi Laukkanen Says:

    @Azhar: Thanks! I’ll try to change it to say “posted from Twim” in the next release. I’ll keep you posted :)
