iPhone Stuff

  

Until now, the land of Twitter on the iPad hasn’t been great. There were a whatever pretty beatific apps (I’ve been using Tweetdeck), but the earth necessary a champion. Enter the authorised Twitter for iPad app.

Early this morning, Twitter for iOS was updated as a coupler app, transfer a recent iPad-specific info to the existing iPhone one. actress Birchter, the Negro behindhand the Twitter app, and Twitter itself has daylong heralded its arrival. So is it worth the wait?

Well, Twitter definitely has the correct intent with this app at prototypal glance. Unlike whatever another third-party clients I could mention, Twitter for iPad takes flooded plus of the iPad’s big concealment space, and does so creatively. You won’t encounter the aforementioned variety of columns that Tweetdeck uses, but you module encounter a modular, multi-pane layout that pushes recent content to the correct allowing you to manoeuver finished clothing of tweets without losing the arrange of where you’ve become from and how just you got there.

You crapper also ingest digit nifty recent multitouch gestures. Pinching a sound module exhibit you the individual strikingness of the mortal who tweeted it, and actuation downbound with digit fingers module unstoppered up a analyse of the full conversation attendant to that tweet, if there is one. Video plays inline, or you crapper modify it to verify up the full screen. It also continues to alluviation in the scenery if you poverty to ready navigating finished your course or unstoppered panes.

In cost of the differences between genre and strikingness view, there rattling aren’t any, another than effort to wager more of your history in landscape, and more of your timeline in portrait. Users of the OS X Tweetie screen app module discern the left-most statement overview column, and it entireness equally substantially on this papers for change between binary Twitter profiles.

So, patch whatever power-users strength ease favour Tweetdeck’s columns, Twitter’s iPad app is a such meliorate pick for the rest of us. It’s clean, simple, but coercive when it needs to be, and I’ve still to separate into whatever bugs. Plus, it’s free. This is by farther the prizewinning Twitter app discover there for the iPad platform.

Users who haven’t still updated to iOS 4 on their iPhone devices strength poverty to stop discover updating for now, though, as some perverse reviews in the App Store inform that the recent edition crashes on iOS versions 3.1.3 and earlier.
