Androkkid - Android-like UI for Windows Mobile devices

Recently, I've been installing and playing around with Androkkid - Android-like UI for Windows mobile devices. Although still in early beta (version 0.4.0), but it quite good. Installing it on my Palm®Treo™Pro which have square screen (320x320), Androkkid runs very smooth using my thumb or my nails to slide between screens. And I guess it also runs good on all other Windows Mobile devices that have different screen resolutions.

You can download and try it from the developers site, which also provide additional wide wallpapers and icons. I like it, and I want to play a little more with this Androkkid, while waiting any improvement between versions upgrade.

Just try it, and don't forget to donate the developers if you like it :)

Twikini - lightest twitter client for Windows Mobile

I've been a twitter user for a while now. At first I only following updates and posting from my web browser at office's computer. Gradually I added the persons I follow and my followers increased as well. So, I need more time, periodically checking my twitter to posting update and replying post from my colleague.

Since I'm using Samsung BlackJack™ II with Windows Mobile Smartphone OS, I tried several application while comparing each of them, which one is suitable for me. Then, from one of twitter posting, I found out about Twikini, brand new twitter client. It says that this apps is the lightest twitter client for Windows Mobile. So, I download and try it.

And, apparently that statement is true. This Twikini is very light, the most I guess, comparing to other clients I've tried before. Beside BlackJack™ II, I also installed in my Treo™ 750 which based on Windows Mobile OS, too.

So, what've you waiting for? Go directly to http://www.trinketsoftware.com/Twikini and try it your own :)
