TweetDeck for the iPhone

Been a while since I posted and I'm laying here waiting for the iPhone 3.0 update.

My interest today is on TweetDeck for the iPhone. I have used quite a few twitter applications for my phone but none of them have impressed me quite as much as TweetDeck.

The application runs much like the desktop version, allowing multiple column views for tweets. Columns can also be assigned for multiple accounts, allowing a quick view of your accounts.

What really sets this application apart is it's API counter and reset timer. Heavy users of twitter commonly meet the API error that prohibits tweets until the conclusion of the hour. Knowing how much I can tweet is stupendous.

My only complaint so far is that the application oft times assumes that Internet is slow or absent and gives off an error. I am not sure why since an iPhone is always connected to the Internet. This doesn't hasn't happened over wi-fi but could easily be fixed in a future update.

Overall I am rather impressed with the application. So much in fact that I am writing a blog detailing my first impressions of it.

If you haven't already, download TweetDeck for your iPhone and say goodbye to Tweetie for good.
