Tweetie Definitely Coming to iPad and Mac

Loren Brichter, developer of Tweetie (now Twitter) for iPhone, promises that his app will come to the iPad and will be updated on the Mac.

"It's not gonna die—I refuse to let it die. Everyone at Twitter loves the Mac version," Brichter told Ars at WWDC this week.

Tweetie (Twitter) for iPad is expected to arrive soon. Brichter notes that it's so great he wishes he could share some of the iPad code to the Mac. "The goal is to exceed the Twitter iPhone app in the iPad," he said. "I swear the reunification is coming between iPhone, Mac, and iPad."


Brichter also notes that "the iPad [as a platform] isn't there yet... If I thought the Mac was dead, I would have stopped developing." However, he looks forward to day when you can code using it. "If you break the idea that we have to use software keyboards the traditional way, there's so much potential for insanely fast programming," Brichter said. "Think about keyboard buttons becoming whole variable names. You could become so efficient while programming!"

We'll let you know when a new version of the app becomes available for the iPad or Mac.
