Android Twitter Client Poll

Just before leaving for SxSWi, I bought myself a new mobile phone: An HTC Hero. I love virtually all of the phone. It is taking a bit to get used to the new options and new abilities, but it works.

The one thing on the phone that wasn’t working for me? Peep – HTC’s Twitter client. I didn’t have time to grab a different client before I left, so I was stuck using either the mobile client or Peep (when it worked) to do my tweeting. PAIN in the arse. For real.

On my desktop and laptop, I use TweetDeck. I have used CoTweet for business accounts as well (and will again), but most of the time it is TweetDeck. I love it. BUT, it isn’t on the Android yet. (Please, TweetDeck, get it there as soon as possible.)

Yesterday, I tweeted and Facebooked:

I didn’t put out my specific needs, because I wanted to hear from the world what they thought. My requirements?

Easy to use
Don’t hang my phone
Handles multiple accounts
Let me do everything (or close to it) that TweetDeck does.

The results kind of startled me: An almost perfect split between Twidroid and Seesmic. And I mean within one vote.

The Twidroid folks all seemed to be using the free version. Since it doesn’t do multiple accounts, I went with Seesmic. If I don’t like it, I may spring for the $5 and get Twidroid.

What I really want: TweetDeck on my Droid. What about you?
