Subject:	PTT app for Android

TiKL is a PTT app for Android that my friend told me about. Bear and I tried it out today and it's actually pretty nifty! From my experience, here are the pros and cons.

Pros:
- Instant communication
- Clear reception

Cons:
- Operates on media volume, not ringer volume so even if you're phone is on silent, you will hear incoming calls. Either turn your media volume all the way down, or put it into busy mode (rejects calls)
- Doesn't tell anyone trying to contact you that you're in busy mode so they'll have to just figure out that you're not going to respond.
- My husband suspects it drains the battery. This wasn't a problem for me because I also have the Close Everything app so I can just shut it down when I'm done. He had to go into application settings, which was a little cumbersome.

The app is in beta though so I have a hunch they'll be fixing some of these annoyances and making it an even better app. :)
