Guy Kawasaki tweeted: “Have to say that Twittelator Pro is the way to go on iPhone”
Twittelator Pro requires iPhone/iPod Touch firmware 2.2 or greater. So if you really really want it, make sure your OS is up-to-date.
What do I use? Well, I’ve been using Twitterrific for all of my iPhone Twittering needs… But by the sounds of things, Twittelator Pro sounds pretty darn good.
You can pick up Twittelator Pro for $4.99 in the App Store. If you’d rather ‘try before you buy’, and lets face it… who wouldn’t? There’s also the original ‘Twittelator‘ app available for free. Less features than the Pro version, but it does the job as well. Just depends what you want. You can check out the ‘Pro vs. Lite’ features right here.
