The AppStore is Coming – Will MobileTwitter Be There?
Unfortunately the short answer is no – the long answer is: I built MobileTwitter because the current solutions available for the iPhone at the time didn’t cut it, in terms of usability, iPhone-like UI, and features.
It is widely known that Iconfactory will be releasing the iPhone version of Twitterific (and Twinkle will also be making an appearance to the AppStore at launch I suspect) – I am fully expecting/hoping that Iconfactory’s iPhone Twitterific will be satisfactory, and I plan to be using it myself.
If it is not, you will see an official version of MobileTwitter for the iPhone AppStore.
I do have plans to release other applications on the store in time, but unfortunately Apple has not accepted me into the paid developer plan – so while I may have new and exciting applications cooking, I am unable to distribute them to the masses (*frustration*).
I will continue to maintain MobileTwitter for JailBroken devices, currently only up to Firmware 1.4 – I have no idea of the “JailBreaking status” for the new firmware… so can’t make any garuntees that MobileTwitter will make an appearance for that firmware.
