i dislike this feature. twitter has not got it right on the android platform. swiping takes a lot more effort and i end up using an alternative client. in fact i believe twitter.com works better than the official twitter app on android these days. the new mobile app is fantastic.

Well, haven't use the twitter app much so can't tell about the drawbacks.But this feature definitely saves a lot of clicks, if ,implemented properly.

you cannot refresh if you are not at the top view? how does it save on clicks!

And regarding the slowness of twitter app, I guess. . apps for social networking haven't been a great success.Facebook app sucks too. . .damn slow.Web interface works way better.Luckily there are alternative twitter clients, and that too good ones.

also... it takes a lot of screen space...

yeap. facebook works great through the mobile web interface too. not good for sharing through but works great for checking out the latest updates. and even check-in works from the website!

I believe it would save time, since there are hardly 4-5 unread mails when I visit my gmail app.
So a simple slide down would save on a few clicks. Won't it ?

one click on the refresh button. a complete slide down... i do not see why the latter is more efficient compared to the previous one if the refresh button is hidden from the view and requires opening up the menu, i can probably understand the swiping action.

But swiping thing should make it more convenient to refresh, because swiping towards top after reading the mail is something I usually do. If that gesture can be used for dual operation that would save the effort of clicking the refresh button after reaching the top.
