I know there are Crash Bandicoot and Shrek iPhone games, not sure if they're any good though.

on the iphone, you can see the @ for people you follow. Go into their profile, then press the @ at the bottom. That will show every tweet that has their handle. You should be able to find replies on there.

Did you find one?

If not kermitology could probably whip one up in half and hour for a 6-pack?

I have not found one, but I haven't really been looking either. Maybe there's a new app idea...

I have a question for you app developers - I'm interested in developing an app for an event that I'm helping put on in early January. Pretty basic stuff - pdf daily schedules, a few maps, etc. How much might something like this cost? Please PM me if you'd be interested in a project like this.

Thanks, I didn't know that. It would be nice if you could just select a tweet, and when that screen loads you see all the replies (if any) for that particular tweet.

Are you using the official twitter app for the iPhone? I would suggest trying "echofon", I have found it is far superior to the official app.

Call me curious since I use the official Twitter app, but what makes 'Echofon" better?

I have no time for outside projects right now. I'm slammed at work, custom designing and building a house and planning a wedding.

However if anyone is interested in an app I can put you in touch with a couple of first class devs.

I haven't used the official app in a long time, but echofon is just so much easier to use IMO. Much more fluid and easier to navigate. Better support and more periodical updates. It's free if you don't want the pro version, so check it out. I think all the pro one does is eliminate ads, so I didn't bother with it.

If you're going to spend money on a twitter app, I highly recommend Tweetbot.

Just a heads up, awhile ago I started to use echofan, and right after I signed up, my account seemed to be sending out "junk" tweets. Reverted back to official twitter, and no more problems...

How about Numbers? I use it to keep track of the family expenses throughout each month so I can see if problems are on the horizon. I love it. $10.

And I'll throw a mention out there for Twitterrific - quick, elegant, and the same interface on the Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It also syncs your spot in the timeline across devices.

My apps are no longer updating via the iPhone. Anyone know why? I put the correct password in and then it just doesn't do anything.

Because Apple makes ridiculously unfriendly programs designed to aggravate and annoy?

So I just got an iPhone, and one of the things that bugs me is that I can't really configure the notifications nearly as well as I could on my blackberry. It would seem that it's either all sounds, or all vibrations, unlike on my BB where I could set it up to ring for the phone, but only vibrate for emails.

Anyone know if there is an app for setting something like that up?
Better yet, am I just ######ed, and is it possible to just set the phone up that way?
