Nik's Favourite iPhone Apps: Twitterrific

Here at Download Squad, we know that a fair number of our readers are avid Twitter users [much like ourselves]. There's been no shortage of Twitter clients thanks to Twitter's readily-available API: and the AppStore is little different.

Twitterrific, if you're not already in the know, is the ubiquitous Mac OS X Twitter client (now at version 3 on the desktop) - and possibly one of the most anticipated applications in Twitter-circles when the iPhone SDK was earlier this year. Winner of a prestigious Apple Design Award back in June, Twitterrific remains my favourite of all the iPhone Twitter clients out there.

It's well thought out, with both left- and right-handed configurations of the interface and the also features a built-in browser, allowing you to follow tweeted links without leaving the application. As you'd expect, it's easy to post tweets to your account, view tweets from your contacts, and update your current location. All of this, along with a beautifully-attired interface as you'd expect from the Iconfactory, makes Twitterrific an excellent choice if you simply can't stop tweeting when on the go.

Twitterrific comes in free (ad-supported) and paid-for ($9.99) versions - with the paid-for version also featuring the option of a light-themed UI.

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
