SpeakTweet app for iPhone and iPad

DESCRIPTION:
Sure, you can get more music to listen to, but will you ever be able to buy an eternally-changing song? Not only is this app an infinite-length listening experience, but the app is speaking everything youve already liked and chosen to hear, with your own already-bought-music as your background. Instead of your music in the background, maybe you would prefer to teeter-totter back and forth between a podcast and the spoken twitter feed? Got you covered, bub.

SpeakTweet is a simple app that speaks the timeline for your twitter account, while playing your music library. The twitter account profile picture and the tweet text is displayed while the app speaks the content. The music automatically ducks for the tweet being read in the speaking voice. Note: you can play podcasts too, and the podcast stops while the tweet if being spoken, because thats even better than missing words being spoken in your favorite podcast.

This app only plays music thats in your device music library, or in your podcasts library. Those libraries do not allow for streaming download right now, so the music/podcast must be actually stored in your device.

I guess you just have to find out what your twitter name and all the names in your timeline actually sound like, now dont you? Or perhaps you just need to listen to twitter banalities interspersed with that meditation podcast until your brain finally can understand humans?

Please note: this app is *VERY* distracting if it is playing on a car radio, so ignore it furiously and concentrate on the road.
Another note: if you are playing a podcast, your brain is carrying two threads together, so you should be peaceful and seriously not driving.

There are buttons and gestures to pause the speaking of tweets or the music, and for a slew of other effects.

OPTIONS:
* Music Playlists (or all music) (with or without shuffle)
* also allows for selection from "all" or a single podcast

ACTIONS:
Tap the twitter AVI that is being displayed, to send a favorite for the tweet.
DoubleTap the twitter AVI that is being displayed, to retweet the tweet.
Tap the tweet-voice button or music-pause button to pause the speaking or music.
Pause/Play everything by tapping the twitter text being displayed.
DoubleTap the music button to skip to the next item.
Swipe the name of whats playing to go forward/backwards in the playing item.
DoubleTap the name of whats playing to choose something from the list.
Swipe up and down for day/night colorings.
