Twobile (pronounced Twoh-bul, a mixture of the words "Twitter" and "Mobile") is a new Twitter client for users of Windows Mobile Pocket PCs. Initially a personal project designed to help access various services provided by Twitter, the project began in mid 2007 and had remained in prototype status for nearly a year. In early 2008, it was decided that since there was a lack of sufficient Windows Mobile Twitter clients that addressed nearly all the services that Twitter provided, the project was moved from a prototype to a publicly available beta.
Why another Twitter client?
With the rise of Twitter users and the increase in the adoption of Windows Mobile devices around the world, the need for a client that allows those Windows Mobile users to utilize as many of the features of Twitter as possible without needing to be at a desktop computer increased as well. And as the rates for mobile Internet access and the surcharges incurred by mobile providers for SMS messages increased, the need for a full-featured, yet simple-to-use, client presented itself as a need. Thus, Twobile was born! And even though Twitter provides a web-based interface for mobile devices, its functionality was not as robust as those found on the desktop-version of the web interface.
How much does Twobile cost?
Absolutely nothing. Zip. Nada. Zero. Why, you might ask? Because Twitter is free and the ways you access it should be too! We do, however, ask that you donate to us so that we can maintain the Infinitum Software website and the Twobile software if you use the software for personal purposes. If, however, you use it for marketing, promotional, or other business ends, you will be required to pay for the software if you intend to keep it and begin using it for those business-related ends. We believe that this is a reasonable request to those who love the software as it will help us build a better program and better support for it.
Does Twobile work through a third-party server? Is my information secure?
Twobile directly connects to Twitter and all transactions are performed between your Windows Mobile device and the Twitter service. We do not syphon any information like direct messages, statuses, or username and passwords from you. There is no interference between Twobile and Twitter that we artificially inject that would be cause for alarm. However, upon your first successful login and use of Twobile, will will ask you if you would like to add the Twitter user "Twobile" to your friends list. This is optional and absolutely not required, but it will help us convey information about new updates that are available for Twobile when they are released, information about what is coming up, as well as any other notices that we may decide to make public. It also allows us to figure out how many people are using the Twobile client and where in the world they are using it (if you have set a location in your Twitter account). This, though optional, is just for bragging rights, and we hope that you can help us be proud of our little tool.
