Just two weeks ago, Twitter introduced Vine – six seconds of looping video with much the same spirit as Twitter itself – short and clever. Well, we will use the term “clever” loosely for some.

Sounds great, right? Well, while we do agree with you, there have been a few bumps along the road for this new app.  Just last night, an update was released after users complained about adult content in the app.

Apple and mobile app creators are no stranger to this complaint. It has happened before with different programs, so don’t let that keep you from trying this out. The update released a new 17+ rating for users. Twitter made a few extra tweaks while they were at it, and now you can share your Vine videos after you’ve posted them.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Twitter CEO, Dick Costolo, says Vine will “force people to be creative and foster this new art form” for those who dive in to the short videos. Instagram made everyone photographers, so, pretty sure now we’re all going to be video clip directors.

In all seriousness (if we had your full name, we would use it here so you would know we mean business,) this app seems to have some great potential, but not without a few more gripes from mobile users:

• No selfies! We all know how much people love their self-portraits. But, the app does not yet allow to switch to a front facing camera.
• Why don’t we have any friends? Well, in this case it’s because many users have complained that while you can “Find Friends” using your Twitter account, the friends who show up are only a portion of those who use the app. How are we supposed to share our six second genius with our friends if we can’t find them?
• One other problem – while available for free on the Iphone and Ipad, Vine has yet to make it’s appearance for Android users. Come on, we want to be movie directors, too!

The Supreme Court’s recent ruling that police must obtain a warrant to search the cellphones of those they arrest is irrefutable proof that cell phones are no longer a technological convenience; they’re a major way of life. We bank from them, work from them, video conference from them, and sometimes we even place a call from them if we actually like the other person. The point being that they are an essential function in today’s marketplace.

But what about battery life?

We swear we’ll sacrifice Pandora and any exciting app for decent battery life. Even as smartphones become more and more sophisticated, battery life is still a major issue. Android’s top-selling phones, including the Samsung Galaxy, are mighty powerful. But when it comes to battery life, it’s still a major nuisance. It’s safe to say that Android users would like to live a day without frantically searching for an outlet to charge their phones. But that may soon change.

Google recently unveiled its upcoming Android, dubbed “Project Volta,” which promises to tackle the obdurate battery problem. Here’s how it works: Something known as a “battery historian” provides greater insight on exactly what’s draining energy, while a battery saver mode allows cell users to squeeze up to an extra 90 minutes out of each charge by doing things like lowering the screen refresh rate. If this is all true, then Volta will have a dramatic effect on the way we use our Android phones. No longer will app developers have to worry about battery usage getting in the way of their app development.

While Google’s effort certainly sound promising, it would be wonderful if battery improvement applied to normal use, as opposed to being limited to battery saver mode. Regardless, Google continues to prove its willing to lead the way in cell phone development. It almost makes you forget all about Google Plus.
