Seesmic for Android new update, brings a new Interface, auto complete and couple of other stuffs

Seesmic for Android just got updated and it brings tons of improvements. Most notable improvement is the UI, gone the ugly & tiny title bar, replaced by the new big top bar that are getting common to see in Android apps nowadays.

The top bar, or Android developers usually called it the 'Action Bar', contains buttons at the far right that can be changed depends on the screen that you are currently in. For example, if you are on the main screen, you will see Refresh, New Tweets and Search button, but if you are viewing a tweet, then the buttons changed to Reply, Retweet and Share button.

In my opinion, the new UI is much more cleaner than the previous UI, but there is one thing that I missed though, apparently now you can't see the client that was used when a user is sending a tweet. Not a big deal though, but hey its nice to have a little bit of detail isn't it?

Other than the revamped UI, the update also brings you the auto-complete for usernames, a much better composer with upload of attachments at posting only, ability to change your Twitter avatar, available in 8 languages and along with Google Buzz, Seesmic now also supports Salesforce Chatter.

Google is finally released the official Android app for Google Reader. The app is pretty much what you can expect from Google, simple and clean UI but packed with features. Along with the basic features like unread counts, friends, sharing and starring, the app also offers a couple of key features such as:

• Multiple accounts, you can access feeds from your multiple Google reader account.
• Like the Gmail app, the Google Reader app also offers an auto-sync feature. So every changes that you made on the app (including the settings, eg. Show All feeds,) will be reflected instantly on Google reader website.
• You can search keyword from your feeds.
• Send a feed item using any 3rd party app such as, Facebook, Twitter, Email and even add Note in Reader.

For me, the official Google Reader app is one of the best (if not the best) reader app for Android, it has a very clean UI, straight forward app and also packed with features and like any other apps from Google, its free!!

The problem about this app is, it seems that it only available in some selected countries. Countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Latvia and some other, can't seem to see the app in Android Market thus they can't download the app without using Market Enabler app.

If you are among the unlucky users, there are other reader app that you might wanna try such as, NewsRob, Greed and gReader. Or if you wanna try another kind of reader app that is simply unique and beautiful, you can try Slide Reader, Feed Squares, My Taptu and also Pulse.

So I have spill all the good news, so what's the bad news? Well.. the app is only available for Android 2.2, and for some reason I don't think its available for every country yet, I live in Indonesia and had to use Market Enabler to see the app in Android Market. If you're lucky, get it now as the update just made the app more awesome than it already is.

Twidroyd 4.0 brings LivePreview™ feature

If you're using Twidroyd on your Android phone, you'll probably noticed that the app is ready to be updated to version 4.0. The update brings a couple of changes, most notably some UI changes, a new top bar, a 'More' button & the LivePreview™.

Twidroyd 4.0 brings a new top bar which integrates the New Tweet button & Refresh button. This top bar design were probably made to follow the new Android UI design pattern, which we can also see this kind of pattern in Facebook & Twitter app in Android. My only complaint is, the top bar is a bit too small, thus tapping the buttons is sometimes a little bit hard. Some other change is the inclusion of the new 'more' button on the bottom right corner, if you tap this button it will pops up a couple of buttons including Profile, Accounts, Twittersphere, Trends, Settings and also a button to exit the app.

But surely the main new feature on Twidroyd 4.0 is the LivePreview™. LivePreview™ is a feature that can only work when you put your phone on landscape mode. On this mode, instead of expand the tweet list to cover the whole screen, Twidroyd 4.0 creates a two pane view, left pane is for the tweet list and right pane is to preview the tweet. The great thing about this is, if you select a tweet that has a link on it, Twidroyd will preview the content of the link inside the right pane. You can also filter the tweet list based on the tweets with a link, tweets without a link or simply show all tweets.

Twidroyd 4.0 is already available in Android Market, go get it now!
