Official Twitter app for iPhone now available

The application formally known as Tweetie from Atebits has been removed from the App Store to make room for the official Twitter branded iPhone app. This app—which is basically Tweetie with a name change to make it official—is now available in the App Store both internationally and in the U.S. It’s labeled as version 3.0 (up from 2.x) which means that along with the re-branding, there are some new features.

• Reorganized search
• Search results now include Top Tweets
• Use Twitter without an account
• Sign up from within the app
• And more

  Atebits, the company behind both Twitter for the iPhone and the Mac, was acquired by Twitter earlier this year to become the official Twitter app and avoid confusion with the multitude of other Twitter apps for iPhone, according to the company. While Twitter for Mac hasn’t seen much progress from the time it was launched through now, the iPhone application has been changed quite a bit. Hopefully, with the launch of Twitter for iPhone behind them, Twitter for Mac will make some progress now as well.
