Twittelator Goes 3.5

Interesting update for Twittelator Pro, which I reviewed a while ago. Here are some of the most important new features:

App has landscape support everywhere;

You can tweet your currently playing song;

Threaded DMs;

Dropdown to refresh tweets (like Tweetie 2);

More efficient image caching;

Find people by their full name;

Many other improvements and fixes.

Surely it’s one of the most complete Twitter clients out there, though the interface is not as elegant and sexy as Tweetie’s one.

Twittelator Pro is available at $4.99 in the App Store.

For a long time, Panic’s Coda has been the best, in both functionality and fashion, application for all in one website editing on the Mac.

MacRabbit, a software development company well known for it’s ADA winning CSSEdit, released their competitor to Coda that is putting some heat on the number one: Espresso.

Appropriately named the “Coda killer”, Espresso packs a real punch.

Interview with Michael Martin of ProBlogDesign. The Life of a Designer and Blogger Using Windows.

As a part of the MacStories Apps Tree event (where you’ll find a huge giveaway worth $10.000 of 450 Mac and iPhone apps licenses), I had the chance to interview Micheal Martin, the editor of ProBlogDesign. Michael is a designer and blogger but unlike many designers I’ve recently interviewed he’s using Windows. What came out was a uber-interesting interview, with awesome responses that will give you a good insight into the blogging / designing scene on Windows.

This is the 8th of many interviews and guest posts I’ll publish on MacStories during this week.

The MultiTasking War: ProSwitcher Goes Public Beta, Multifl0w Update Imminent

We all knew this was gonna happen. The day Ryan Petrich announced he was working on a new application to manage backgrounded apps on the iPhone, everyone thought of Multifl0w, and how ProSwitcher (this is the name of the new app by Petrich) could become the new, best multitasking application from Cydia. And here we are today, with ProSwitcher in public beta and a multifl0w update on its way. I’ve been trying ProSwitcher for a few hours now, and I’ve already ditched Multifl0w for it.

Find out why.

Mozilla Sees Firefox Mobile “Killing” App Stores

From Electronista:

“Mozilla mobile VP Jay Sullivan in an interview Thursday made the aggressive claim that Firefox Mobile will put an end to app stores like the iPhone’s App Store or BlackBerry App World. As the smartphone web browser will share much of the desktop Firefox’s engine and render both complex HTML and JavaScript, the senior employee anticipates many developers opting to write web apps instead of producing native code”

Sure. I think Jay hasn’t realized developers don’t actually make money from the App Store. The problem is not Firefox mobile killings the App Store, the problem are developers ditching the App Store in favor of Mobile Safari.

That’s what we should talk about.
