I’ve added Favourites (with the first bit of localisation as well so our American friends won’t be freaked out) and the ability to delete tweets (I initially inadvertently wrote that as “delete twits”. If only).

I’ve also cleaned up a few things and replaced some of the menu text with variations that I personally find less annoying (the word “My” no longer appears, since it reminds me of “My Little Pony”).

Favourites (or Favorites for the aforementioned en-US people – if anybody in Canada’s using Twitula could you contact me and let me know where Canadians stand on the colour/color thing? Thanks) appear as a menu option (yes, another menu option. I’m sorry), and if you open (by tapping their name) the context menu for a tweet by someone other than yourself (I could change that if necessary)  you have the option to “Favourite” or “Unfavourite the tweet. I hate committing the crime of using a noun as a verb (and then deriving another non-existent verb from that one), but I was forced into it by space considerations.
If I get to fancy stuff like owner-drawing the menu items (developers will know what I mean) I might replace that text with icons.

The “Delete” option is similarly available from the context menu.

As usual, provided you’re running Windows Mobile Professional and you have .NET Compact Framework 3.5 installed you can download the latest version from here.

PS. The CAB file this time is much smaller than the previous version, since this time I avoided including things that didn’t need to be included.

(At least I hope it’s fixed – it’s a bit hard to test because they’re an intermittent problem).

Anyway, the change I made should handle images that are larger than the default size.

Thanks to Jeroen for drawing this one to my attention.

PS. The fixed version can be found in the usual location on Skydrive linked to from previous posts.

If you have a Windows Mobile Professional device with .NET Compact Framework 3.5 installed you can get the latest version here.

As you can see from the screen shots above, there is now a context menu that pops up when you select the name of the author of a tweet, with several useful options. Additionally, the status update now includes the option to include an image (using TwitPic and the standard Windows Mobile Picture Picker).

Additionally, tags in tweets are now selectable (selecting a tag initiates a tag search).

Oh, and I fixed some bugs. It’s always best to do that to make way for new, improved bugs.

This one is more substantial: I’ve redesigned all of the dialogs.

If you have a Windows Mobile Professional device (you know, the ones with the touch screens)  and it has the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 installed, you can get it here.

I’m working on similar changes for my mobile blogging application (Diarist).

But right now it’s time to dive into some more ASP.NET MVC stuff. Have fun folks.

(Actually I refreshed the update just now to fix some annoying behaviour that’s been in the status/message dialogs since the beginning)

A few hours ago (last night by my time) I released an update to the .NETCF2 and .NETCF3.5 versions of Twitula, correcting an outdated link on the “About” form (dating back to when I could afford web hosting). I also added a “Done” SoftKey for that form in the latter case.

You can get the downloads here (.NETCF2) or here (.NETCF3.5)

PS. From now on update notices will be posted on http://twitter.com/twitulaapp

Update

I just noticed and posted a fix for a bug that could disrupt scrolling for keyboard users.
