I don't know, you wait for a native Twitter client forever and then two come along at once. Last week, Ewan looked at the Gravity client from Mobiways; this week it's the turn of Twittix from Mojo's Studio, with Ewan giving this slightly simpler and more S60 style-compliant client the review treatment - who's this new client aimed at?
Read on in the full article.
What exactly is it for?
It would be great if you guys could dedicate some time on the podcast to discussing the different Twitter clients for S60.
I bought Gravity without knowing about Twittix. This could have led to a little regret, as Twittix is less expensive. However, after reading your review, I prefer Gravity and happily paid a little more.
It must be said, though, that Twittix looks like a nice alternative, and I am glad to see that competition is starting...
As you say, Gravity's interface is quite different from the S60 style sheet. Nevertheless, it is very intuitive and pretty - prettier than normal S60 UI's if you ask me.
On the other hand, Gravity lacks a Settings menu right now, and I would have appreciated being able to set update intervals and a default AP, but from what I understand, the developer is working on it.

When Twittix update to the 0.92-version the alerts went silent on my N96.
For that I tried Gravity.
Gravity had just finished alerts and very specific settings.
The update-programm is also something a lot of applications could learn from.
I have seen a lot of applications since my Psion and starting with a 6600 smartphone, but this application is something else.
I did not realise that Twitter was already this big.. if you want to know what is happening in the world.. get Gravity and look at the popular searches..
I use Twittix for the E71. I don't have the "Downloading" message box to which you refer. I simply have very fast thin lines shooting across the screen.
Also - Twittix has updated automatically on my E71 to version 1.0
When I upgraded to 1.0, twittix started crashing just after startup. I left a couple of messages on the developer's website, but got no reply. I suspect it could be fixed by removing the program's config files on the device (e71). Any ideas out there? Thanks!
