New Twitter app called J1CK Tweet

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Here we are welcoming a new Java Twitter client, its called J1CK.Tweet developed by a small group of developers from the Basque region of Spain. J1CK.Tweet is quite a little app which is bound to surprise many of you out there. Among some the immediate things I noticed its how incredibly fast it is, I was pretty impressed with its UI and how simple its overall functions are easily and intuitively displayed.

J1CK.Tweet comes in at a price of $0.00 dollars, yes its free and will compete with other free Twitter clients like Twibble and Twim and quite a few others but those two immediately jumped out as obvious comparisons. You may remember sometime ago I published 15 Twitter clients for your Nokia smartphone and in my mind J1CK.Tweet certainly needs to be added to that list. So check out the download link at the bottom of the post and give it a try I think you’ll be happily surprised.

Summary of j1ck.tweet features

All standard functionality: timeline, @mentions, DMs, favorites, following/followers, follow/unfollow, profiles… and of course tweeting!
Simple, no-nonsense interface. Up/Down/Click and using a menu is all you need to know.
Quick Reply / Retweet / Favorite in each tweet
Trending Topics / Saved searches support
Multiple-account support.
Twitpic support: you’ll see the picture without having to navigate over there
Camera support! Take a snapshot from the tweeting form itself and have it automatically uploaded to Twitpic. Great to share where you are in a moment.
Pretty good support for touch-screen phones (we’re testing mainly on Nokia 5800 and Samsung F480)
Support for QWERTY keyboard phones (Nokia E71 is currently our main testing device for this)

On the Nokia E71 which by the way is very easy to use, very impressed, for a Java app, its a lot fun to use.

The simplest way to install is to open your Java-enabled phone’s web (or WAP) browser and type the following URL to Download:
