What is your favourite Twitter app for S60?

I’ve been using Dabr as my primary Twitter app on my Nokia 5800 for the past several weeks and besides few hiccups here and there, I’ve been fairly happy with it. In a conversation with a fellow blogger this morning, he recommended I give Gravity a try

I am going to install Gravity as soon as I get back home after this weekend’s mini-vacation but for now I would love to know which one you guys prefer.

Nokia Ovi Store To Debut With Thousands Of Applications

According to a recent comment by Nokia Officials at the Nokia Developers Summit, when Nokia opens up the doors to its Ovi application store , it will have “thousands” of applications ready for shoppers.

Eric John, director of marketing for Nokia, said there are thousands of applications in the pipeline being evaluated by Nokia, and that when the much-anticipated Ovi Store debuts in May it will have at least 1,000 or more applications on it.

The Ovi store is Nokia’s response to wildly popular Apple iPhone and RIM Blackberry newly launched Application store. In the recent weeks, Nokia has been marketing their platform superior to the iphone store and has publicly asking iphone developers to try building applications for its platform. According to some reports many developers have been impressed with the platform and are expected to migrate their existing application over to Ovi. It remains secret to be seen how Nokia will monetize these apps and help developers make money.
