The first (and only) official Twitter app for the iPhone launched today, and is available in the App Store for free.
Twitter decided to jump into the smartphone market about a month ago, when it acquired the popular iPhone client Tweetie from its creator, Loren Brichter. The most recent version of Tweetie was Tweetie 2, which disappeared from the App Store yesterday. Tweetie 2 was a $2.99 download, while the new Twitter app is free.
For those of you who haven't used Tweetie, it is one of the better Twitter apps out there. The homepage features a search bar, "suggested users" tab, and a list of trending topics. Sign in (or sign up), and you'll be taken to a screen with the latest tweets from your list of Twitterers. There are five tabs at the bottom--a "latest tweets" tab, a "@" tab (tweets that mention you), a "messages" tab (private messages to you), a "search" tab, and the "more" tab.
