![]() ![]() DoubleTwist does do this, but there seems to be a big roadblock: I can’t get them off my phone. That’s it.Īnother thing I would consider using a client for would be to view what’s on my phone already – not applications or anything (because DoubleTwist doesn’t do that, either), but pictures and video. The only advantage I can think to using this program is because the listings are ad-free and look pretty. In essence, it doesn’t do anything of the things that I would expect a client to do, nor does it make it any easier to use my phone. It doesn’t even let you comment/rate applications within it’s window: the site’s FAQ tells you to go to back to your phone for that, too. It doesn’t allow you to bookmark, list, sync, update or share them, either. A client with access to the Android Marketplace does not allow you to download apps: DoubleTwist themselves tell you to download a bar code scanner app for that. Wait, what? QR code? Why would we need that if we’re downloading apps using the client? As you can see, it deceptively looks useful: it has ratings, comments, a well-laid out listing, hi-res logo, and QR code. This is an example of a listing on the Android Marketplace within DoubleTwist. See, I was under the impression that DoubleTwist would actually be useful to me in some way. Hearing that it had been updated today, however, had me installing faster than a pirate with unlimited bandwidth. However, at the time of my first interest, that feature wasn’t available for Windows – I decided to give it a pass until I could actually, you know, use it. It even allows me to search the Android marketplace, which, up until recently, I couldn’t even do on Google’s official site! It was pretty much what I wanted for my phone: a program I can run on my desktop that allows me to interact with the contents of my Droid. I’ve written about Android needing a client before, so I was a bit happy when I discovered DoubleTwist.
