Mobile Weekly: Twitter for Android Update
After a recent update to version 2.0, Twitter for Android has become one of the best clients to use for checking up on your constant stream of tweets. It has had a complete redesign which some might say resembles the iOS version. It now features a much darker theme instead of the old blue clouds background we saw in version 1. Also the main menu screen has gone and it now loads you straight into your timeline. Other features inherited from its iOS cousin is the ability to pull down to refresh and the swipe menu which gives your the option to reply or the favourite the swiped tweet. The overall design of the app is slick, clean and well engineered. Get the whole story

Twitter Magazines with Tweetmag
A new app was recently launched onto the iPad app store called Tweetmag, which in concept turns your Twitter feed into a newspaper type layout. Personally I don’t feel the app quite justifies it’s price, but I expect there will be extra features and improvements in the near future.

Tweetmags features included sharing, instapaper, advanced search, video playback and create many ‘mags’ to list a few.
the layout is a basic White space with the stories placed around like magazine articles, some with titles and sample text, others with titles text and images.
You can create magazines for separate users, search terms, tags and keywords. Simply drag the results icon to the top and in the future you can access your favourite content from the user or topic.
The app also boasts fast loading of content with the feature ‘Give and Take Computing’ which shares data and loading times between the apps users. There is also ‘Simple Article View’ which renders content in a mobile view with elements like website design out.
Overall this app would be a great $0.99 newsreader, but the current price is $4.99 ‘read’ Twitter then Tweetmag is perfect.
