It’s been a long and difficult road for the folks at Dots & Lines, not entirely sure why their Carbon Twitter app for Windows Phone was rejected four times before the good folks of the internet, and the Windows Phone team, kindly stepped up and fixed what was broken.

I had a chance to buy and try the .99 Twitter app and it’s definitely the best one in the Marketplace, at least for now. Between it and Rowi (whose version 2.0 is currently in Release Candidate status, and is coming soon) the Windows Phone Twitter app scene is improving prodigiously.

Carbon recalls its webOS heritage in its feature set but does so with a Metro styling that’s all WP7. With multiple account support, inline picture viewing, a plethora of configurable Live Tiles, including Mention and DM background checks (but no push notifications, alas) and a host of other great features, it’s pretty well-rounded. Push notifications, along with inline video and performance improvements, are coming in version 1.2 next week.

At the moment there is no trial version, but the company’s blog says that will be added in the coming days.

After being the partner of Apple in France, Orange will sell the iPhone later this year in UK.

That’s very good news for customers, who were quite disappointed about the upgrade from iPhone 3G to iPhone 3GS for existing customers with O2.

Adobe took a new strategy to put Flash animations on the iPhone, with the release later this year of Flash Pro CS5 Beta, Adobe will enable any Flash developer to create an iPhone application (.ipa file) and then the developer could send it to Apple for approval.

So it is definitely for Flash games on the iPhone, unfortunately, no Safari plugin to be able to see flash animations on web pages.

Quick video to explain it:

Hero users – Sprint has just released the much anticipated, long overdue Android 2.1 update known as Éclair. If you’re not already rooted, get on over to HTC’s website and download the update. Keep in mind this update is going to have to wipe your phone, so you may want to pick up a back-up app form the Market, back it up, and then give it the ol’ update.

Fairly simple to download, if you’re having trouble head over to the Android section of the forums and find some help from fellow users.

What are the benefits of Android 2.1?

o Upgraded OS to Android 2.1 Éclair
o Includes enhancements to Sense UI
o Includes enhanced corporate email support
o Includes a variety of minor bug fixes
o Super-duper coolness that’ll make your non-2.1 friends jealous

Ok, fine we added that last one but it’s here! Woo!

Love it? Hate it? Miss 1.5 already? Head over to the Android forums and let us know!
