Is there no Twitter app other than the official one that gives you a preview of an image when you click within a tweet? Not a link to your browser but an actual image preview?

TweetDeck. you open the "tweet" from with in the app. and the image will appear.
Yeah one of the things I really like about Tweetdeck is the image preview. It does them all but lockerz.
Twicca is the way to go. Best twitter app I've used, I've tried plume, seesmic, tweetcaster pro and the official twitter app

I love Twicca as well and used it for a long time, but now I use Plume. It's just a little more "polished" and it's easier to switch between columns. Both support image previews.
Seesmic well give you previews as well.

or picplz,
i can has 10
tweet deck, free, image preview, fast, facebook
Tweetdeck is what I use.
Pretty much all, if not most, of the Twitter clients have image previews. But I"m with everyone else, TweetDeck is the way to go.
Lightweight, fast and is the least buggy.

Not everyone else.
I'm with the Tweetdeck fellows. One downside is that it doesn't support image preview from Picplz or Lockerz. Not yet, at least. Anyweays, I haven't tried Twicca and I'm a bit skeptical to the whole concept of Seesmic so. Well, right now I'm just hoping for Tweetdeck developers to implement image preview for the two mentioned image sites. Would be thrilling. Any other suggestions?

I love pulse. A preinstalled app that doesn't suck is great.
Pulse is okay, I hope flipboard comes to android.
It would be nice but I recently took a survey with News360 and they're currently working on Twitter/Facebook integration. It could possibly help me forget about Flipboard.
Man...if only I could code, I would have started working on an app just like Flipboard called Scrapbook. LoL. I wouldn't be surprised to see Flipboard appear on Android sometime after Christmas. I still wonder if Apple doesn't pay some of these developers not to work on both.
It seems silly as anybody who can program, can just take your idea, change it a bit and put in on another marketplace.
with that being said , flipboard to me ,also is far more better in providing iformation than any apps i tried on android os.
just by searching word 'cancer' , in these apps vs flipboard , one can clearly see the difference ....
hope flipboard coming to android soon ...

That is true.
Apart from the tremendous claim for their attractive layout, this is a real problem.
There is not enough personal customization of content, and most often, the status updates chronologically.
Ive never had the chance to play with it but having seen reviews, I would really like to use planetary on android.
I would pay 4.99 on the market for that
What do you mean there is no Flipboard-like app? Theres Google Currents which is superior
I was currently searching for planetary. Only thing i found , was this thread.
Can someone port it for android? Or am i asking something incredible?
I have flipboard installed on my tab. In the play store says isn't compatible but you can instal it if you download the apk from other source. Once installed the app says in the first time open that is not made for this screen size but works perfectly!

I agree, FriendCaster beats the official Facebook app hands down! Especially the pull up 'favourites' tab (similar to the iOS' Favourite profiles, which I miss from my iPod touch days), the ability to tag photos (can't believe it's still not possible in the default one!!) and the popup notifications, especially reminding me of friends' birthdays.
Although it doesn't have chat, Go! Chat is a Facebook chat client (still better than official FB chat) Go on, give it a go
If Friendcaster supports chat function, I will probably use it instead of the Official Facebook app.

Hey guys,
Living in China here and facebook is blocked, when I first had blur facebook use to work through Moto's blur service.
Now that I have CM, there is no more blur and no more facebook...
Besides getting a VPN to bypasss China's firewall, is there any facebook app available now that works through their own server?

If you want more functionality there is always the possibility to just visit the mobile/regular website via your browser. It only takes 1 tap more if you have facebook listed in your favourites.

not really a tablet version, but it works. If it were a tablet version, the left pane would only expand to about a quarter of the page. I bet it works with honeycomb and ics though
Actually it doesn't even works with the honeycomb or ics tablets...Check out some pics here:

IPad and ios version is the same so I don't expect a fully compatible tablet version. A 3rd party fb app is "tablet" ready but lacks the features the current fb app has. Reckon its up to the user if they want aesthetic over features or vice versa.
Webos has tablet version right? But I like the current android version. I used it on mobile.website.

I really like the touchpad version, especially the magazine style news feed. The sliding of the panes, and links is just like the rest of webOS, intuitive and smooth. It pulls your pictures into the picture application, WP7 style, another nice treat.
The phone app version on Android seems such a waste of the screen. When on the android side I use dolphin browser to get the full site.
The superior Facebook app is just another reason I use Android less and less on my touchpad.

Tagging friends using @, integratedvchat and messaging inbox, also some posts don't show up if users set certain privacy settings.
Also some features have to be opened on the site since friendcaster doesn't support them natively

I use one called "gReader (Google Reader | RSS)" -- this is not the official Google app!
It's fast, it's simple, it just works, and it's free.

Initial install and setup yes the feeds take a few minutes to load, after that it is instant for me. And the UI is simple...nothing flashy just clean and minimal....perfect IMHO.
Done a search but nothing of relevance came up in these forums.
Just got my phone today and so far just using the stock browser which seems ok but undoubtedly there are better browsers out there, i always used X-Scope on my SGSII but im a bit tired of that now and looking for something else,i hear Chrome for ICS is supposed to be very good, so what browser is everyone using then?
Chrome is not that great on s3 yet, it lags and has touch delays..stock browser is undoubtedly the best browser I have tried . It gets the work done. Only thing I don't like is how you manage tabs . Try dolphin browser, should run as stock but with some enchanced features

Well the built in browser works really nice, but i personally like
firefox and that you can use addons like adblock and so that i value
a lot personally.
Though I don't currently have the S3 yet, I'll probably use Boat Browser. Easy to use and has been the best I have used for my tastes. It'll be the fist I install when I get my S3.
Dunno where you heard that Chrome 'lags', that's definately not the case. Alright, you don't have Flash. I always thought of it as a huge drawback but I haven't missed it a single time and I've been using Chrome for Android since the very beginning.
It has great tab management, staggering performance and a brilliant look. One of the best things about it is the integration with your desktop Chrome (and all other versions of Chrome you might be using.) Open tabs are synced in real time so let's just say you want to open a link from your phone on your desktop. no more mailing it around, now you can just click on it on your desktop. The bookmark sync is great too. And it's Chrome.

Use Chrome. Also install Flashify. In the rare instance you launch a site that needs flash, just click share, flashify, then select an alternative browser. The page you were browsing is then opened for you.

Stock browser works well here.
Before I used Dolphin, but there's a bug or something. When double tapping to zoom in on an area on the page it always zooms in to the left of the page (instead of the area you double tap)
Do more people experience this bug?
Dolphin Mini - best interface, not a ton of features
Dolphin HD - alright interface, just works
Opera Mobile - most like a PC, best comparability with websites that give trouble, has hardware acceleration, super smooth
Stock - smoothest, least features, and has problems downloading certain types of files, or downloading at all from hosting websites
