Update: Good news guys! Tweetie 2 is out. You can purchase it from here.
Those who use Tweetie for the iPhone swear by it. The app is undoubtedly the best Twitter app for the iPhone. No wonder that it won the 2009 Apple Design award. It has a simple yet powerful UI and a bulk load of features that make it impeccable. We are more than content with it.
However, Atebits, the developer of Tweetie doesn’t want to rest on laurels and has decided to release an all new improved Tweetie 2.0 for iPhone. The features are fascinating to say the least. This is what he has to say about the new Tweetie 2.0 for iPhone:
Every single one of these features fits naturally into the user interface, none adds unnecessary complexity. It’s arguably even simpler than Tweetie 1, all while being vastly more powerful.
Here are the features:
| Link Twitter contacts to Address Book | Full offline mode |
| Threaded conversations | Drafts manager |
| @people picker | Improved gesture shortcuts |
| Tweet translation | Send drafts to Birdhouse |
| Nearby – embedded maps | Go-to-User, searches autocomplete |
| New-style re-tweet support | Multiple attachments manager |
| Peek gesture for replies | Short URL preview |
| Refresh all on launch | Block/follow from multiple accounts |
| In reply TwitLonger | Landscape support |
| Geotagging support | imbedded email |
| TextExpander support | Reply chain list view |
| Profile editing | Recent hashtags |
| Saved searches to sync with Twitter.com and Tweetie Mac | |
| Read it Longer and Instapaper integration | |

Update: Existing Tweetie users won’t be able to update to 2.0 for free. They will have to pay $2.99 again. Totally annoying!
