Review: Spaz, a Twitter Client App with Posterous Support for Palm Pre

by Brent W. Hopkins

Recently there has been a lot of buzz about several iPhone apps that include support for Posterous. Well, Palm Pre users can now join the party with the arrival of Spaz v0.5.10. Spaz is a Twitter (also identi.ca, Laconi.ca and custom microblog platforms) client with support for photo hosting on Posterous.

You can download Spaz for free using the Pre’s built-in App Catalog. At some future version point Spaz may become a paid app but will probably only cost about $2.

Spaz is an Open Source app, which I appreciate. Also, the support of other microblog services is a nice touch for those who are leery of the infamous Twitter Fail Whale.

If Spaz ever adds background polling for @mentions and DMs, I will probably switch from Tweed which is my current favorite Twitter client for the Pre.
