I found a GREAT Twitter App for our Tablets - Acer Iconia A500

I am using PLUME and love it. It has a multi column view and works great on Honeycomb

Its awesome!!

Nice!
Really nice app!!!
I'm really loving it! just deleted Twitter's app haha.
Do you know any other app that works as good as this one but for Facebook? I hate Facebook's official app which is not optimized for tablets, and I don't think it'll be as they are not making an ap for iPad neither.
Thank you!!!

I'm using Friendcaster, formerly Flow for Facebook. It seems to work well.

Yeah, friendcaster is very good app...the official app i don't use so often

agree, very nice facebook app and also plume

I have been using the plume beta for twitter and it is the best twitter app for honeycomb. The only issue I have with it is that when I get a notification the pop up is all black and I cannot see whatever message the notification is trying to show me. But once you click the notification it launches plume so not a big deal.

I don't twitter that much, can someone tell me what the advantages are to an app rather than just use the browser?

Tweetcomb is now free and it's gorgeous.

Tweetdeck, the only one I like.

I think I'll give Plume a try and see if I like it...

Agree, i can use facebook at once.

Plume worked pretty well for me yesterday while watching Indy 500 qualifying. I didn't particularly like having to constantly hit refresh to see new info though. Seemed as though even when I did, it wouldn't always refresh like it should and I'd have to either kill it or switch to my home screen then back and it would refresh.. Might try something else to see if I like something else better. I can always reinstall again later.

There's an option in which you can change the notification text color. Just go into the app's settings then click Customize and scroll through all the options and you'll see it

For android plume is best ec tweetdeck user

Yea, I'm still stuck on Tweetdeck!

think plume is the better option...awesome UI, and you can always work on landscape mode. tweetdeck takes you back and forth

I keep mine pretty simple. Just my kid, a clock, and dock. I didn't bother to show the other screens because it is just launcher pro widgets.

Something I did from scratch. Icons are from dreamflye (or how ever its spelled). I was inspired by his dock, I liked it but it didn't fit what I was going for. So I did my own. I've been toying with releasing it.

Yeah dude...you should release it. If noone else uses it...I sure will!

PM me your contact info and your color preference and I will send it to you. I can't really send the icons yet because they are not my work, but I will be doing some of my own in the future (text icons are easy). I can maybe do a small request of icons if you let me know.
I am working on getting the some variations done before I release it (Tab on left, right, or center). I kind of want to release a bunch of variations so people can pick what they like. And I probably need to do some icons (at least the basics).
droid 2, epic 2.5, modified stock theme
Hey faceless, you wanna' post your dock icons? I like the extended right tab a lot (and I'm also too lazy to make my own unless I really have to )

Itching Thumb A Must Have

I figured a lot of people would love this...
When you hit the "home" button it turns your phone into webOS style "cards" display of your recent locations (yes, with previews of the page and all). I personally find it amazing, best task switcher out there, period.
Double-tap takes you all the way to your actual home page.
You can even add shortcut widgets to the bottom under the "cards" or even use it as a secondary in launcher, launcher - if that made any sense.
There's a few similar ones.. I love this but the home tap option to expose all 7 homescreens is gone on this one. s

How? I have the paid and most recent version of LP and after playing around in the settings for a little while I couldn't figure out how to set an app to launch by swyping on the app button.
Thanks

ADW EX Updated!

ADW EX has been updated today with a lot of fixes and options for Tablets including having the dock on the bottom in landscape and many more! There are tons of fixes for Honeycomb tablets especially for 10" screens. If you are an ADW EX user, but found it too buggy before, it night be good for you now! You can also set the secondary dock as the default which has scrolling like launcher pro.

Nice to hear! I can't wait to get my TF back in my hands from the shop....
fantastic update! Been eagerly anticipating this
Note to any noobs like me - backup your layout. It doesn't transfer over to the updated app and now I have to set it up from scratch :S
Niice! Thanks for letting us know, I had no idea. I've been missing ADW Ex since I updated to 1.7.. And the new additions to it sound great.
EDIT: What is the new version number? The online market still says 1.3.3.

You can hide it albeit temporarily through launcher actions.

im new to this, love the speed of the scrolling screen when i had a quick play. but looking for advice
i want a clean home screen with none of the + signs, adecent weather /time/date widget and app shortcuts same size as stock
what are people using for this sort of things decent add on recomendations would be great
How to change apperiance of main black dock? I can change only bar with 5 blank spots..not this bar for tablets.. Any ideas?
My new homescreen
Ok, now that looks clean. I love not having those icons all over the screen. If this is from ADW, I'm tempted.
Only wish that we could put things all the way to the edge of the screen, with the dockbar. Can only do it without, and that's annoying too.
Is there a good way to set wallpapers with ADW? I keep getting a half black half wallpaper result.
Thanks in advance.
