Critics are saying that the iPad is just a bigger version of the iPhone (having had a very brief encounter with the former, we difnitely don’t think so). Based on that, people are now asking the question on whether simillar apps on the iPad are just mere larger versions of their iPhone counterparts.
Are the usability experiences of these app simillar on both devices or does having a bigger screen makes for a dramatically different user experience? Most importantly, is the hike in iPad app price (compared to the same app for the iPhone) justified?
cnet did a 20-app showdown to give a very precise idea of how much user experience will improve (or otherwise) because of the bigger screen real estate available on the iPad.
Apps in the test include Evernote, Tweetdeck, Google, Twitrerriffic, eBay and WordPress. The final result is a mix bag with some apps being better and some being worse but it definitely makes for an interesting read.

TM reports complete rectification of SMW4 link
About more than a week ago, TM reported outage of one of their International Links linking to US and Europe which causes slow International traffic.
At midnight, TM’s Twitter @TMCorp had made an announcement that this has been restored and all international connections should be working normally by now. This comes a day before its original estimate dateline of 2nd May.
Those continue to face the problem are urged to report to TM for further assistance. More details on the announcement here.

Twitter App for Android available for download
Twitter has announced on its blog that they have officially released an App for Android, saying that “Robots like to share too”! You can download Twitter for Android at the Market by searching for “Twitter”.
We’ve downloaded the app and we are liking it. The Interface is simple yet packed with all the tweeting features you ever need. On the front screen, you get the latest trends appearing at the bottom.
Like any other apps, it also features notifications that checks for alerts in the background. The only downside is the lack of multiple twitter account support which you can get in Seesmic. Another limitation is that the Twitter Android is only for Android 2.1 and above.
This is just the beginning as the Twitter team promises more to come for the Android.
