Falcon for Twitter leads our Fresh Apps selection today. Its a full-screen, scrollable Twitter widget which offers all the functionality of a complete Twitter app. Its just a beta release, but social networking junkies should check it out. Weve also got the lowdown on Jetpack Joyride. The huge iOS hit finally arrived on Android, but its exclusive to the Amazon Appstore, at least for a while. Still, its well worth the download.

What sets Jetpack Joyride apart is that behind its simple formula, theres a hugely addictive mission/challenge system which just pushes you to play one more time. The difficulty and learning curve are set perfectly so even casual gamers will never feel overwhelmed.
