If you’re looking for an iPhone application to share photos across your social networks, you may want to give TweetPhoto a roll.

The site just got an overhaul – which prominently features photos of the Full House cast – and this new iPhone app makes it pretty simple to share pictures across Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, or Foursquare accounts. I downloaded the free app TweetPhoto Pro and it looks pretty good: it has a clean interface that makes it quick to scan your friends’ photo streams, as well as public or popular photos. Signing up is easy, and TechCrunch says we can expect versions for Android and BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) soon enough.

Looks like some new countries have been graced with an Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) App Store presence. This, according to Apple’s iPhone Developer News. If you live in one of the 13 countries mentioned below, you can now pop open iTunes or the App Store app on your iPhone or iPod Touch for Application heaven. The official note from Apple:

Sprintboard is a neat little app, which I believe should come bundled with the iPhone/Mac OS. Basically, it allows users to swipe over the dotted area, right above the dock icons, to move between the screens faster. You can think about it as the alphabet bar within Contacts – sliding your finger over the dots will take you to the screen you want. It’s that easy, and as I said, it should come standard with the iPhone/iPod Touch now that we have so many apps (and therefore so many screens) installed on our devices.

Are you having trouble coping with the reality of not having one of Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s “magical” iPads in your hands? Rather than sweat through the next couple months in want of the slick tablet device, you can try to trick your desires into submission with a DIY iPad. It’ll be made of paper and no more useful to you than any other placebo, but it might just be enough to help you sleep at night.

The iPhone AppStore has and always will be controlled Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s iron-fisted app approval team, which is fine, because that usually means iPhone users can expect reliable and high quality apps. But, when Apple uses its control over the AppStore to censor more than just “adult” content, it starts to feel a little Big Brother-ish. Finding itself directly at odds with Google (NSDQ: GOOG)’s Android platform, Apple has reportedly prohibited an iPhone app from mentioning “Android” in the app’s description. The Flash of Genius iPhone app’s description wasn’t obscene or erotic in any way, it just happened to mention Google’s Android Development Challenge.

AT&T (NYSE: T) announced the fifth annual “Open Call – Apps For All!” contest, taking place at the CTIA Wireless in Las Vegas, March 23-24.

The contest allows developers to briefly present their apps to judges, who then decide if an individual application merits further consideration. Companies and individuals with best applications will be rewarded with cash prizes, exclusive marketing opportunities, and earn the coveted title of 2010 Open Call winner. There are four categories to compete in: Brew Mobile Platform (BMP), Android, Java & RIM, and an “Open” category reviewing apps of all platforms. AT&T will award a total of ,000 in cash prizes, ,000 to a winner in each of the four categories.

Those who say there are no decent Twitter apps for Android simply haven’t found the right one. When the Android Market first opened, you could sign in, watch the handful of new apps being uploaded every day, and generally know everything that was available on the platform. There really were only a couple of Twitter clients.

But now that the Market has been revised, and there are more than 25,000 apps by the last unofficial count from Androlib, there are plenty of Android Twitter clients to choose from.

GrooveMaker has announced that its range of style-based paid apps has surpassed the 500,000 downloads marker, and has become one of the most downloaded loop remixing applications for the iPhone/iPod Touch platform. The first Groovemaker app was released in August 2009, but the range of today comprises of 11 style-based versions covering all types of dance music genres and more, including House, Hip-Hop, Techno, Trance, Electro, D’n’B, Rock, Reggae and Reggaeton.

Following its not-so-subtle exile from the AppStore, the Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Voice app VoiceCentral will soon make a return to the iPhone as a new web-app. VoiceCentral developer Riverturn calls their reincarnated app the VoiceCentral Black Swan Edition. Okay, so maybe it won’t be called “Screw Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)” edition, but the return of VoiceCentral to the iPhone is clearly a middle finger in Apple’s general direction. In early 2010, Riverturn will go live with their web-based app, which integrates all of Google Voice’s features with the iPhone in ways that the Google Voice mobile website just can’t.
