Announcing Twittle - A Flash Lite Twitter Client and Server API

Thanks to the http://www.FlashLiteDeveloperChallenge.com
We were motivated to build a social networking application.
For distribution we are looking at Thumplay, GetJar and
Nokia Ovi.
I will be at CTIA in Las Vegas (April 1st-4th) demoing this application and our other projects so feel free to ping me if you want to see it in action.

Here are a few screen shots:






Here is the feature list:

• Friend Feed
• Replies
• Direct Messaging
• Profile Feed
• Post status via Twittle
• Reply and ReTweet

Majority of the features already work for Touch UI so we are considering a version for the Nokia 5800 and praise God we are already white listed by Twitter for unlimited API use.

If you are with a carrier or handset maker feel free to contact me directly if you interested in a custom version of our Flash Lite Twittle engine for your devices.

Happy Tweeting,

Kirk Ballou
