Twobile: A Twitter client for Windows Mobile

by Brad Linder Apr 2nd 2008

Twitter has a mobile interface which you can access from any web-enabled cellphone or PDA by visiting m.twitter.com. But the mobile interface is a bit sparse and doesn't let you, for example, look just at replies, direct message, or the public timeline.

Twobile is a Twitter client for Windows Mobile devices that adds many of the features you'd get from a desktop Twitter client like Twhirl or Twitterific. The application is available as a public beta, and is freeware, although the developer asks anyone who plans to use Twobile for business use to pay a license fee.

The client allows you to update your status, view the public timeline, your friends timeline, send and receive replies and direct messages, view featured users and favorites. And you can view avatars when you click on an individual message.

I'm sorry, I wanted twitter.com, not Excel. Yikes.

This is not for Windows mobile smartphones. Only Windows Pocket PC. The following link is the discussion (if you can call it that):

There are actually a number of mobile Twitter clients out there that are much better than Twobile. So far I like the looks of ceTwit the best for Windows Mobile. Check out this list of 7 solid mobile twitter clients for multiple platforms.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
