AndroidCentral asks: What’s your favorite Android Twitter client? [Contest]

Twitter clients are nearly as ubiquitous as Android phones these days. There's Seesmic, Twidroid, Tweetcaster, HTC's Peep, HootSuite, Touiteur, Twicca and Swift, to name but a scant few. And then there's always the mobile Web site. And it seems that new clients are being introduced every day.

And so, we want to hear from you. Head on into the forums and tell us what you use for your daily Twitter client. We'll pick one lucky winner at random to win a free 16-gigabyte MicroSD card from the AndroidCentral Store. We'll take entries through Wednesday, and announce your two Twitter client pics later this week. Good luck!

Update: Good news, everyone. Because of the overwhelming response, we're upping the prizes. We're now giving away a 16GB microSD card and two 8GB cards. Posts count through Wednesday.

Quick App: Touiteur

If you know any of us here at Android Central, you'll know we love our Twitter so when I had the chance to check out the latest application from LevelUp Studio, Touiteur, [Market Link] I jumped at the chance.

Touiteur is free for the the basic version and will run you about $3 for the premium version, which includes light and dark themes along with three sizes of widgets (4×1, 4×2, and 4×3). The widgets are not only well polished and look great on your homescreens -- they also allow you to send tweets quickly and glance at the latest tweets on your timeline.

The user interface and other features are nice touches that set it apart from other Android Twitter clients. When you click the Tweet button at the top, the menu bounces down or the ability to use colors for different people you follow. So if you follow Android Central (and you should!) you can set it's color to red to make it easy to pick out of the crowd of Tweets. There's also support for multiple accounts, notification options, photo Tweeting and URL shortening. There are enough user options in this app to make your head spin. 

Touiteur's still in development, and there is no threaded messaging yet, and you still can't upload video. But LevelUp Studio has already rolled out updates, and with more to come it is committed to be keep improving this already great app.

Check out a video of Touiteur in action along with some screenshots after the break!
