March of the Droids

App Review: Xeeku Twitter
While I use Twidroid Pro exclusively for tweeting I am not beholden to any one application. As a general rule, I just use what fits my needs best. That’s why I was pretty excited about using Xeeku Twitter for Android. First off, let me say …

App Review: K’UMPA
K’UMPA is a good “waiting” game. By that, I mean it is a great play when you are waiting for anything like a doctor’s appointment, an airplane, etc. Â My 16-year old son and I both downloaded this to both a G1 and an mT3G to …
