We knew long ago that Tweetie would become the official Twitter iPhone app. Last night, we heard rumblings it would be arriving soon and today it finally launched. Twitter for iPhone/Touch is available and FREE:

The core contents and features of Tweetie remained in tact but Atebits who now works under Twitter Mobile have added some features that essentially makes the app better. Not to mention the awesome Tweetie 1 hybrid logo

New Features

• Search has been reorganized, now you can search all tweets and find users in the same spot, view Top Tweets and Browse Suggested users.
• Search results now include Top Tweets, try it with Trends…winner combo!
• You can now use Twitter without an account! Search, Browse uses, view trends and top tweets.
• Sign-up is now availabile within the application as well, complete with Suggested user list.
• More tab has been re-organized to accomplish all this. Users with one account can add a second account under the Accounts and Settings button here.
• Actions we’ve found people use most, like Retweet have been moved to the main actions bar.
• Minor tweaks were made to tweet rendering so they match Twitter.com tweets

I was hoping there’d be some sort of major overhaul to the app but I guess it will release on the next major upgrade OR what would have been Tweetie 3. You already know my iPhone client of preference and if you like an alternative, read Twittelator Pro. Regardless, download Twitter today!
