I wrote about and showed you a video last week of Handmark’s Tweetcaster Twitter application for Android devices and wanted to let you all know it is available now in the Android Market. There is a free, ad-supported version and a priced $4.99 version with no ads in the Market. I recommend you at least try out the free version of Tweetcaster on your Android device as soon as you can and I know you will find it to be the BEST Twitter application available for Google Android devices.
The beta version was already extremely good and I only had a couple of minor points that I provided during the beta testing. That said, Handmark told me that did improve the following from the beta to the full release:
- Notifications fully implemented with different notification options such as vibrate, LED and audio.
- Force-close issues
- GPS issue that drained battery
- UI related issues
You will find just about everything you could hope for in a mobile Twitter application in Tweetcaster and I personally prefer to use it instead of the website.
