A couple of days ago I asked for some beta testers for Hahlo Version 3 via Twitter, if you haven’t already, and you would like to try out the latest “bleeding” version of “Hahlo 3 — Legendary Edition” then drop me a line at beta@hahlo.com and I’ll provide you with more details. It’s definitely worth a look.
While you’re at it, have a read of John Gruber’s thoughts about the current crop of Twitter webapps…and finally someone who agrees with me about Thincloud’s abuse of the Twitter logo.
New Leaders seem to have recently renamed Thincloud to the rather scammy-sounding “Twitter for iPhone”. They use Twitter’s logo and name in such a way that, unless you read the light-gray small print in the footer on their web site — which small print is not displayed when viewing the web site on an actual iPhone — creates the impression that you’re looking at some sort of official Twitter iPhone interface. — daringfireball.net
Yeah…What he said.
The endoresment by Gruber is great and so is the beta 3, although I do agree with his post:
…that the menu naming being homogenized with the twitter categories would make Hahlo better.
One problem I did notice was that when the phone is in landscape mode, the @ and favorite icons don’t move all the way over to the right of the screen, yet aren’t quite centered on the screen either.
Otherwise the new beta is awesome and totally blows everything else away with little details like not spawning multiple windows, remembering prefs, legible text etc.
