Patrick Norton gave me the run-down of the most popular iPhone Twitter applications a few weeks ago on Tekzilla...

Love the idea for the show, but why recycle a Tekzilla segment in the very first episode?

wtf? this show came out of nowhere.
This really doesn't do anything for people without iPhones though.....

Yeah this came out of nowhere. Had Travis Lopes not tweeted about it I'd have never heard about it... Gotta agree with Chris on this, it's not a good start to recycle content... But regardless downloading now, thoughts in a bit.

Update: Why did you mention 8 clients, then only review 4, yet ask opinions on TwitterFon which wasn't mentioned? Please don't tell me this has been split into two episodes...

Update: Won't this suffer the same fate as Systm eventually? This could easily be (as it was in the past) a segment on Tekzilla... I don't see how 4 apps per week is anything that'll keep me coming back... That said, I'll keep watching for a few more episodes, see if it turns around.

According to this http://revision3.com/schedule this show will be on 3 times a week.

Yeah, but still this could have easily been part of Tekzilla ...

Quick concise and reasonably informative. Continuity error at 4:20 when the judgement comes in on tweetdeck, it says twitterific, just shows how informative some of the text is in this show.

Not bad but I can see interest dipping quite easily since you can't review apps too thoroughly because most can be covered with a simple one sentence review.

With there being so many apps in the App Store, most of them being useless. Hopefully this show can show the good ones.

It's a good first episode.

Loved the Pros v. Cons overview. Loved the Download and Don't Download.

I'm really curious to see how this show turns out. I like it so far. Looking forward to the next episode. Keep it coming, seriously!

EDIT:
In reply to mavrevMatt:

Actually...great point?

EDIT:

The thing about Systm that was explained was that it was very costly. This show doesn't look like it will be as costly.
