spaz-palm-preSince dropping my iPhone and the tons of Twitter applications, all of which offer picture posting, I was very surprised to see two twitter apps for the Palm Pre both with no picture posting. Tweed had updated to giving location and links but still no pictures.

Today both Tweed and Spaz posted updates to their apps and I immediately downloaded both. So which one beat the other to posting photos? Spaz has done it but not in the greatest of fashions, in fact this is kind of pathetic. Spaz sends your photo in an email to a photo service and then posts it as its own link. We really wish there were some kind of integration within the app as there is with other many Twitter apps.

I then opened Tweed in hope to find an option to post a picture but sadly there was none. Although they did make the buttons look a littler different, so give them a pat on the back for that. Later I posted a rude comment putting Tweed down and only this time when I griped about them did they respond, unlike the previous times. They said “We are added photo in next release. What else is missing for you?” My only complaint was that they were missing photos but according to their site we will be getting “photo integration (via auto generated email) — this week.” Let’s hope that they get it and get it right, I am still lost as to why they had location services and tweaks to the UI but not the addition of one of my personal favorite features in a Twitter app.

    Believe me, I would much rather have done direct uploads to photo hosting services from Spaz, but webOS simply doesn’t support file uploading yet. Doing the email posting option was far more work, but it’s the only workable method at the moment. If you want it fixed, tell Palm.

    That’s the idea behind many of these stories. It may one day make a difference but for now it looks like we have to give it the old reach around ha ha.
