If you would ask me, which is my favorite twitter app in iPhone/iPod Touch. There’s only one answer “Tweetie”. There are thousands of Twitter apps in this webworld. Most of them has new features than Tweetie, but Tweetie Remained as Tweetie and the favorite app for iPhone. Once if you use, you will never leave it. You will feel $2.99 is not really too much for it’s experience.
Now twitter becomes more serious about mobile experrience and the smartphones are on boom. They’ve simply acquired Tweetie instead of creating a new one. Now it’s known as “Twitter for iPhone”. See the announcement from Twitter.
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve entered into an agreement with Atebits (aka Loren Brichter) to acquire Tweetie, a leading iPhone Twitter client. Tweetie will be renamed Twitter for iPhone and made free (currently $2.99) in the iTunes AppStore in the coming weeks. Loren will become a key member of our mobile team that is already having huge impact with device makers and service providers around the world. Loren’s work won the 2009 Apple Design Award and we will eventually launch Twitter for iPad with his help.
