New in the App Catalog: Spaz gets Photo Integration, and other updates.

 

Another day for updates and no new apps... Update for Tweed, Spaz, AccuWeather and LikeMe Mobile.

Like the title says, Spaz at last added Photo Integration/Twitpic to their application in build v0.5.0! I'm sorry, Tweed, I'll play with Spaz for a little while now. 

Release Note for Tweed (Note: Update for Photo Integration happening this week for Tweed)

[Thanks for the tip, Brian]

Do we need to download these apps again, or are they pushed automatically?

@Rogeratm

I never gotten a notification/push for the app updates. You update them one by one via the App catalog or run the Update Utility on your Pre.

I'm glad we could tear you away for a few. I'm sure Tweed will understand this is just a fling.

Looks like your fling with Spaz might be short lived.

Taken from Tweed site:

"Coming soon...

* photo integration (via auto generated email) -- this week"

Pre automatically downloads updates to apps in the background while charging.

I am new to twitter but with this app and the tweed one, how do you actually search for a specific person's page and their updates? For example, if I want to find Eminem's twitter page, I type Eminem and all I get is all kinds of ridiculous peoples status updates that mention Eminem rather than his twitter. Can someone tell me how to find specific pages rather than keywords in status updates?
Thanks,

Kris,

In Spaz, until we add a "lookup user" feature, try opening a search panel and type in "from:username" where "username" is the screen name you're looking for. That will list posts from that user. You can then tap the user's avatar to get their profile.

Thanks a bunch Ed! :)

I tried it out, but I find it's actually easier and quicker just to send from an email from the photo app for twitpic/photo sends.

Now, if one of these two, if possible, could integrate the ability to view a photo without having to open a new card, that would be neat (similar to ubertwitter on the Blackberry).

Tweed is just too powerful to let go, even though part of me really likes the UI of Spaz a little more.
