“Iconfactory’s Craig Hockenberry has made no secret of the fact that he has been working on an iPhone version of the popular Twitter application, Twitterrific, for quite some time. There are a handful of others that have popped up lately on the Mac (namely a number of AIR-based apps like Spaz, Twhirl, and Snitter), but Twitterrific seems to hold a major lead, and it only seems natural that it would be ported to a mobile application. Twitterrific won the Apple Design Award for best iPhone Social Networking Application last night, so it’s clearly something to look forward to,” Jacqui Cheng reports for Ars Technica.
“We spent some time this week speaking with Craig and playing around with Mobile Twitterrific in its (near) final form. It’s clear that a lot of thought has been put into this app, not just from a developer’s perspective sitting in front of a computer, but from a user’s perspective having used the app for months and months at a time. That’s exactly what Hockenberry has done, using it for personal use on his iPhone and iPod touch over the last five months, he tells us. He has continued to make refinement after refinement to make this app into something he, personally, cannot live without, and he can’t wait until the App Store launches so that everyone else can try it out, too,” Cheng reports.
