I've pre-ordered the n900 and my increasingly prolific use on Twitter is making me think twice. If Gravity arrives on M5 quickly I'll be very happy indeed.

Hi all, so can anyone describe what are the "awesome" features found on Gravity that can't be found on Mauku or other twitter clients?
I'm using Mauku now, but it's behavior is getting me nuts because it keeps opening new windows when I just want to scroll, so I thought in making a twitter app myself.
It would be cool If you help me with ideas. Bye.

The upcoming Mauku 2.0 application for Fremantle does not have that issue. In addition, it will have a lot of new nice features...
There is a thread about Mauku 2.0.

By the way, whats the purpose of openining a new window for a single tweet? And other thing, Mauku for N810 is abandonned now with Maemo 5 release?

As you note though, the function doesn't serve much purpose with Twitter, as Twitter doesn't handle replies as nicely.

Oh, I see.. Well, so as I dont have much free time to help the project, or send a nice patch for this, I think I'll just remove the double click hardcode way for my personal usage and be happy

- multiple accounts
- Tabs for replies, DM, friends and subscriptions
- Search
- freely configurable audible signals for any events
- freely configurable refresh times for any events
Especially the reply tabs would make an Identi.ca client very useful.
For Identi.ca, I'd also love to see support for the !group feature. Like dynamic tabs for mentioned groups in your followers tweets, plus static tabs for the groups you are subscribed to.
E.g. you are subscribed to !n900 and !linux, you would have a static tab for each group. Now you receive a tweet from someone (follower, subscribed group) which mentions another group !maemo, the client should dynamically open a tab for this group and keep it for a configurable period of time. The tab should also stay, if another tweet mentions it.
Ehm, hope I was not too confusing with that idea.
I too would love to see a full-featured Twitter client for the N900. Would make sense too given the geeky audience of this device. The lack of a good Twitter client is one of the main reason why I didn't stick with the N810 very long.
Tried Mauku on the N810 but although it did look quite nice, it was really too limited compared to the other mobile Twitter clients I got used to. Still looking forward to see what's it's going to be like on the N900.
