In a case of being careful what you wish for, Seesmic for Android got itself an update today that brings along some added functionality — as well as the inclusion of in-app advertising. But we’ll get to that in a second.First, the good: Seesmic — which long has been my Twitter client of choice, even if I’ve strayed from time to time –has added the ability to view Instagram and Twitter photos directly in the timeline, and you can no natively add images to Twitter proper. It’s removed support for Chatter, and fixed some bugs. Good stuff. And, yes, advertising has been added. But there’s also a Premium version available. And for that $2.99, you’ll get rid of the ads, plus a few more new features, such as the ability to combine views from different accounts. (Kinda like you can do in other Twitter apps.) For those of us who run multiple Twitter accounts, that should be three bucks well spent.Update: Looks like the pro unlock doesn’t work on Ice Cream Sandwich for some reason. Let’s hope that gets fixed ASAP.Source: Seesmic; Download: Free, Premium

Ever since the release of the iPhone 4S, Android developers everywhere as well as Google themselves have been working to create their own version of Siri. Now that is not to say that Apple was the first to incorporate voice-to-text features and voice search functionality in their smartphones. We all know that Google had this up and running in Android for the last couple of years. Just to be clear, Siri does all of this and a lot more as well and it’s the extra stuff that has many users and developers interested. There are several Siri-like Android apps in the works and XDA developer brandall has been working on a voice-controlled personal assistant of his own, called Utter!. Last time we checked, the app was in early beta form and from the latest forum activity, it’s clearly still a work in progress. XDA has now released an early-alpha APK for the hardened tester community. Utter! has focused on interactions with specific apps that are in your phone to separate itself from the pack. Feel free to check out our previous article for more info and a video of Utter! in action.
