After a month with the iPhone, I have tried tons of applications and some of these were for only one purpose, tweeting. Today I want to do a little review about two of the main applications to use with twitter in your iPhone, there are others as I posted before, but I think this is the most known, I’m talking about MobileTwitter and Twinkle.

I’m a twitter and soon an iPhone user, so I’m searching for an application to run twitter in the iPhone.

I have found two alternatives:

• MobileTwitter: A simple twitter client which you can see the direct messages and replies at the same window but you have to update your status in another one… You can get it through STE Source for Installer.app, http://apps.npike.net/repo.xml. The main features are:
  • Your timeline
  • Direct messages
  • Replies
  • Public timeline
  • Updating your Twitter status
  • Reply Directly
  • Open tweets on safari
  • Twitpic integration
• Twinkle: Nice and simple GUI, very similar to twitterrific and has as main feature geo-location, if you enable it you can see other tweets near to you (of course the other guys must have twinkle). Very funny feature, isn’t it? To install Twinkle you must have Polar Bear Farm source added in Installer.app, http://www.polarbearfarm.com/repo/

If you try one or both tell me your experience! I’ll write when my iPhone comes to me… yeah! my treassssssure!!!
UPDATE

Thanks to Grant through the comments, I have discovered another twitter client for iPhone:

• PocketTweets: Is a web-based client for iPhone. Through a nice interface exclusively designed for iPhone, you can update your twitter status, view friend’s status, direct messages or view public timeline. Personally I prefer a native application than a web-based application but it’s a nice alternative if this apps don’t convince you.
