The well known and pretty advanced twitter client for Symbian Phones is just getting transformed to a widget...

This widget version is just a early dev. stage, but I will look forward to  use the final version ;)

Here is a concept widget from the dev.

This mobile keyboard on the SGH-u750 Alias 2 has some new and nice features. Several different keyboard layouts supported in both landscape and portrait mode.

Twitter client with Facebook support: Seesmic DESKTOP

Seesmic DESKTOP

This is one of the best twitter clients I have used for my windows desktop, and then again, I have not used twitter that long. I tried just a few (round 5 clients on windows 4 on S60), and I must say that Seesmic was the winner for me at the windows platform. This was because it scales nice and intergrade facebook notifications and other features.

It also support mutiple twitter accounts and userlists mixed on both services, save searches with new post notifications and more.

It has some normal, but nice features like add (tiny) URL, image and shrink text. Also the facebook status can be updated like the twitter tweets.

The column look does look like the one known from TweetDeck, but I like this more, and one of the reasons is that twitter and facebook timelines can be mixed together in one timeline or it can be seperated into 2 columns. Also the twitter replies can be mixed and seperated.

Seesmic has also made some footage of the feature updates/changelog
