Tweed is a Palm Pre Twitter client developed by Pivotal Labs, a California based software consulting firm.

The application is easy to install and to easily add an account or multiple accounts to the program. It allows you to set one account as your primary/default account which will automatically be opened upon launch of the program. When accessing other twitter accounts, a relatively simple process, you can go to the main menu and select open account and finally click on the desired account. This will then open the account selected. Tweets are displayed very quickly and the loading/startup time are very short. It displays a timeline of tweets and each tweet can be clicked on, bringing up an option to favorite the tweet, reply to the tweet directly, retweet, or mark the spot of the tweet in the timeline. Selecting a particular person allows you to view the tweets made by that particular person and also allow you t osend a message to the person directly.

Tweeting
There is a speech bubble at the bottom of the program which allows users to send tweets, there is a character counter to show you exactly how many words you have and to make sure that you do not pass 140 words, which is a major plus. To have people know exactly where you are, a small click on the insert location icon will send a tweet with your exact gps position, an excellent addition but one thinks how often will such a feature be used. Messages are sent quickly and overall it is excellent in terms of sending and recieving messages or tweets.

Shorten Url Feature
There is a feature on the tweed application which allows the user to shorten url’s over 30 characters, though it should be able to shorten all url’s regardless of the size for a perfect rating so this dimishes a little from its performance for me. The application is also not very intuitive and only shortens url’s that begin with the ‘http://’, which again dimishes a little from it being a perfect feature but it is a useful one neverheless.

Timeline
The timeline of tweets refreshed every 3 seconds automatically which seems very fast and allowed me to keep up with most major twitter conversations without missing a beat. There is also a manual refresh button to enable users to determine when they would want the page refreshed and also contains a divider which separates old and new messages.

There is also a background tweet feature which allows you to be notified whee you have a new message and the program is running in the background. This can be good or bad depending on how many followers that you have though, as people with a lot of folowers might be updates many times throughout the day and becomes very annoying very quickly. This feature can be turned off though and is highly functional.

Conclusion
This is a fantastic program and should be downloaded immediately by all Palm Pre owners who want to use twitter on their mobile phones.

Palm’s second phone to run webOS will finally become available from Sprint (NYSE: S) starting on November 15. The Palm Pixi features a touch screen, full QWERTY keyboard, and an attractive $100 price point.

If the Palm Pre, its first webOS device, wasn’t your cup of tea, the new Palm Pixi offers an alternative. It is a candybar-style phone and is obviously a replacement product for the popular Palm Centro.

The Pixi is a valiant second effort from Palm. Palm has taken webOS a few steps further and will be including a native Facebook application on the Pixi. It also has a few other new applications, such as iLike, an app that helps find information about concerts, buy tickets, invite friends and add the concerts to your calendar.

The hardware itself carries forward the design language seen on the Pre. In order to fit into such a small package, Palm had to make a few concessions. It loses Wi-Fi (boo!), and slows down the processor a bit. It also reduces the camera from 3.2 megapixels to just 2. The camera still manages to take fast pictures, though.

The Pixi is amazingly small. It is set to land in Sprint stores on November 15 for the low price of $100. Of course, that’s after an “instant $50 rebate” and after a snail-mail-in $100 dollar rebate. Customers are going to pay $200 out of pocket for the phone at the store and wait for that $100 rebate to come back several weeks later.
