After many months and a few false starts, the long-awaited client prepares for initial release
It's tough to talk about the Carbon for Android Twitter client without saying a few things up front:
- No, it's still not available. But that we've been given a pre-release version to share should tell you something.
- Yes, we're all very much aware that we've been talking about Carbon, off and on, for more than a year now. (A whopping six stories out of some 6,000 written over 13 months, if our math is right.) Announcements of imminent release have come and gone, followed by long periods of silence. You can either choose to get over that, read this preview and give this app a shot when it's released in the near future, or not.
- There are now two Carbon apps for Android. This one, obviously, is the Twitter app, from the developer dots & lines, which first brought Carbon to webOS, where it garnered much praise. It later came to Windows Phone before being put out to pasture, much to the chagrin of this Microsoft faithful. The other Carbon app is a backup and sync client from Koushik Dutta. We're not sure which app will see first public release (our money's on the backup app), but having two apps with the same name is about as fun for us as it is for you, we reckon.
- Carbon (the Twitter app) may well be the best-designed Twitter app we've used yet -- and there are some good ones out there.
So with those things in mind, join us for our first look at the long-awaited Carbon Twitter app.
