Carbon for Android has been the most anticipated Twitter client for quite some time now. According to the app makers Google+ page, Carbon for Android will finally see an official release in the Google Play Store during the week of July 22nd. To much of the developers dismay, the app will be free due to Google's current stance on not accepting paid apps from the United Arab Emirates in which the developing team reside in. The restriction has had a negative impact on the team's motivation and even caused Carbon for Android's development to be temporarily halted between April and May of this year.
Regardless, I am pleased to say that the team decided to push it out to the market and make it available to all of us. If you are currently running a beta version of the app, you will be able to upgrade it to a near-final version soon enough. I have nothing but high expectations for this app as it already looks aesthetically pleasing. I hope the team will somehow find a way to make money without the use of ads. With such a high quality app, they definitely deserve to get compensation for their hard work. Any of our readers out there excited for this new Twitter client? Once this app hits the Google Play store next week we'll be sure to let all of you know!

I totally lost interest in carbon, and I couldn’t care less about it anymore. I’m on Tweet Lanes, which has great developer support and prompt follow up. I will certainly get by without the fancy animations offered by carbon. In fact, since ICS and now JB, I’m more into simplified and clean interface style.
First I heard about carbon almost year ago… If it takes so long to make Twitter client, I can imagine the phase in which the dev. will release updates. Back then, carbon was appealing, but as I said, many months has passed and trends changed. I want simple but functional. Carbon, you wore me down, there is only so much one can wait. Bye Bye and good luck.
