Zwitscher - a Twitter client for Android
Zwitscher is a client for Twitter for
Android handsets.
The client is for me to learn about Android and is written as
Open Source (no license selected so far :-).
Another feature is the support for user lists as first class citizens.
As with any other open source project, feedback is welcome -- be it as comment,
be it as code contribution. Check out the GitHub issue tracker

Downloads
Zwitscher is now available on the Android market.
Source code is (except for one file - see the README file) released as open source on github at
http://github.com/pilhuhn/ZwitscherA.
The compiled apk contains the missing file though.

TODOs
This is a list of things I plan to address

- Support for position / maps
- Clean up the UI
