Apr 02 Free Twobile Twitter client for Windows Mobile Available
Found in:Freeware, Pocket PC, Communication,

I am very pleased to introduce you one very nice Pocket PC client for Twitter. With the rise of Twitter users and the increase in the adoption of Windows Mobile devices around the world, the need for a client that allows those Windows Mobile users to utilize as many of the features of Twitter as possible without needing to be at a desktop computer increased as well. And as the rates for mobile Internet access and the surcharges incurred by mobile providers for SMS messages increased, the need for a full-featured, yet simple-to-use, client presented itself as a need. And even though Twitter provides a web-based interface for mobile devices, its functionality was not as robust as those found on the desktop-version of the web interface. Thus, Twobile was born!

Twobile directly connects to Twitter and all transactions are performed between your Windows Mobile device and the Twitter service.

For more information and downloads go to Freeware Pocket PC site.
