Touiter will eventually be the Best Android Twitter App (Exclusive video preview) | Google Android Blog

Touiteur will eventually be the best android Twitter app. Its early to heap such praise on a brand new app, but every bit of it is warranted. Touiteur is better looking than Seesmic, has multiple accounts like Tweetcaster, and packs enough features to be the best app to rival Twidroid.

The only reason Touiteur is not the best yet is because this is the first edition of the app. There are a few small bugs and areas for improvement, but that list is small. Touiteur puts the best of Twitter into a captivating package that performs well and looks even better. After a few weeks of the developer fine-tuning bugs and making improvements, don’t be surprised if the word “eventually” gets removed from this title. Here’s a video preview and a screenshot gallery of Touiteur.
