The title may sounds very provocative, but that’s the truth: I’m in love with Tweetie 2. Well, pretty much everyone is at the moment. But instead of writing just another review, I decided to give you a list of 10 good reasons to buy Tweetie 2. And, even is the app is out since 2 days, what you should probably expect from “Tweetie 3″.
Enjoy 
Why Should I Buy Tweetie 2?
User Interface: simple but yet stunning. It’s very clear and uncluttered (and very system-like, a big acheivement for a mobile twitter client) but has those details that will make you fall in love with it. Little blue dots highlighting your unread tweets, mentions and DMs, a grey grid appearing when you swipe over a tweet, the little arrow moving from tweets to mentions in the bottom tabbar..Loren surely did a great job.
Features : Tweetie 2 is features reached. Integrated support for other apps (Read it Later, Birdhouse, for example), online services, retweets, scrolling position awareness are the first ones I could think of.
Improvements: Tweetie 2 is a big step forward from Tweetie 1.x. While you could see “the same app” at a first test, Tweetie has been completely rewritten from scratch. It’s a new app.
Retweets: Tweetie 2 supports the upcoming Project Retweet, which will be twitter’s official support for retweets (a users-started way of sharing stuff). This means that all the tweets you’re gonna retweet on Tweetie 2 will be at “the right place” when P. R. will officially launch. Interesting!
Application Icon: I mean, it’s lovely.
Timeline Refresh: swipe up with your finger over the last tweet to refresh the whole timeline. Genious.
Threaded DMs: Direct Messages are now displayed as users’ conversations, just like in Tweetie for Mac.
Finally, I’d say.
Single Tweets View: you can now read your tweets as a single-tweet. You can also browse them with the navigation arrows placed at the top right. Really useful if you follow a few people.
Saved Searches: Just like in Tweetie for Mac, you can save searches. An enormous – ehm – time saver.
Geo Location: pretty much self explanatory. It seems like a very few people use Twitter in my town.
Now, here’s my prediction of some feature we’ll see in Tweetie 3. Or maybe in the future 2.x updates.
Don’t hate me Loren, I’m always thinking about future stuff 
Integrated Push
Styles
Even more 3rd party apps support
Groups
New Twitter features (obviously, God knows what the twitter guys will create!)

Dont think, that groups are coming (unless they are supported server side). Loren is not a great fan of groups considering his tweets concerning this matter. Not happy about that, though.

Groups, aka Lists, coming in Tweetie 2.1.

Haha, nice … I dont really follow Twitter’s announcements so that’s the reason why I missed that one. Guess, then there is nothing more I could want from a Twitter client.
If you are reading this blog (and hopefully answering comments!
), allow me one question concerning Tweetie 2 for iPhone: Are you thinking about highlighting "@username“ and "#hashtag" in the next release in the same way Tweetie for Mac does it (grey/blue)? This really is one killer feature for me and I admit it feels unnatural in ALL other Twitter clients, when typing @ or # and nothing turns blue or grey. I fear, Apple doesn’t allow this colour change when typing in the normal iPhone text pad, but what about the timeline? Thought, this would really be cool and useful (Twitterrific does this too, however, not in such a beautiful way). And you would enforcen one consistent design, which differentiates Tweetie from other clients.
Any chances on that?

@Loren Thanks for the comment man! I’m really excited about this Lists feature. Hopefully, Tweetie 2.1 will also bring back the dark theme

@dorian Hoping that Apple opens up the SDK to allow for functionality like that… it’s definitely possible (as in UIKit is capable of it), but I’d like to wait for a sanctioned method rather than trying to hack it together.

As far as I know and experienced Apple in the last years, opening already closed borders is nothing they are very good at.
So I guess I’d prefer a less elegant solution to a sanctioned method, as I fear that Apple won’t offer an opportunity for that in the near future.
You were right, however, some months ago with lists in Twitter so I will trust you with this one. Maybe the Apple gods have mercy on us.
