In related news, Twitter today started to roll out a new version of twitter.com web app for iPhone, and similarly ‘smart’ devices.
It provides what the folks at Twitter call "a high-quality and consistent experience on high-end touchscreen devices."
According to the software engineers handling the web-based service, smartphones and tablets like the iPad were their primary focus when working to enhance compatibility between Twitter and these products.
