If there is one request that I had for my Storm it would be to have an app that seamlessly integrates taking pictures and instantly uploading them to Twitter. Below are some thoughts on Snap2Twitter, Twitterberry, and my personal winner, UberTwitter. The reviews below are specifically on the picture sharing capabilities of the Twitter apps.

BEST: UberTwitter

I have been a faithful user of Twitterberry for as long as I can remember. But, let me say this… I LOVE UberTwitter. I repeat, I LOVE IT.

This is a new Twitter app for the Blackberry that is now in Beta. If you like Twitterberry, you’ll really like UberTwitter too. There are many similarities between the two; however, I noticed that UberTwitter seems to update my Twitter followers statuses more consistently and also has a visual indicator on the app icon when it has updated the statuses. Another nice feature of UberTwitter is the ability to immediately retweet any of your friends’ updates and also view your @ twitter mentions.

PROS:

  • Integrated into the Blackberry menu
  • Integrated with TwitPic
  • Global positioning available
  • Picture sharing works for pictures already in your media library
  • Consistent success with posting a picture and then sending tweet

CONS:

  • Not integrated with TwitPic , so the pics are uploaded to UberTwitter’s own picture server. But, this wouldn’t be any different than people who I know that use Ping.fm.
