Twibble twitter client with GPS positioning

May 13, 2007 by Dario Soltani 

twibble1.jpgTwibble is an experimental Twitter client application for the Nokia N95. In addition to some basic twitter functionality it can make use of the built-in GPS of the N95 to add your current position to a tweet. The position can be processed by twittervision and twittermaps. Twibble does not use SMS or WAP. Installation

  • From your phone follow this link: http://www.twibble.de/twibble.jad and walk through the installations steps. You may also try to download the jar directly onto your disk and install twibble manually.
  • Once installed, enter your twitter credentials in the options dialog. If twibble aqcuires a GPS position it will be displayed near the title and automatically added to a tweet. You can also directly update your position at twittervision in the “Update position” dialog.
  • You can use twibble for free. The software comes “as is” without any warranty. However, your carrier will charge you the network traffic twibble generates. Make sure you have a reasonable data plan. Otherwise it can get expensive!
