Twitter for iPad is here

Actually, no. Twitter for iPad is here -<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/twitter/id333903271" rel="nofollow">http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/twitter/id333903271</a>

Everyone is raving about the app and I think it introduces some interesting UI/X elements but after playing with it for a few minutes, it just feels cluttered to me. Compare that to both tweetdeck and twitterific which feel great on the iPad...

I just installed it on my iPad and I'm only seeing the old iPhone interface. Anybody else have this problem?<p>EDIT: never mind, I just got the app update. I guess app store updates are not atomic.

Will someone explain the first sentence? "Are you addicted to Twitter?"<p>What does that mean? How does that happen? What exactly are people getting "addicted" to?<p>I've used Twitter here and there, posted, or used it for a real-time search, but it just seems like retweets of the same articles over and over again, and then just constant regurgitation of the same information ... or tweets about nothing at all.<p>If you're still using Twitter, why? What value can I possibly extract from this thing? What are you getting out of it?

When viewing someone's profile, you can see what I presume is their chronological user id. @jack, for example, is #12; @ev is #20. @paulg's recently created account is ~183M, and a brand new account came in at 185M.<p>Wonder if it's a bug or intentional that they're now releasing this info. I might not be update the app...

I like how it actually allows you to see @username replies in context.

When I click on the read more link I get a page not found?<p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/01/twitter-for-ipad/Adventures%20In%20UI" rel="nofollow">http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/01/twitter-for-ipad/Adventures...</a>

Maybe I'm just looking at this the wrong way, but the way I'm seeing it they've developed an application with "layers" (or "windows" if you like).<p>Wasn't the selling point of the iPad that it was a simple to use platform and device, with everything running fullscreen and without confusing stacks and layers of applications and windows? That it wasn't a "normal" computer?<p>Amazing how quickly things go full circle these days.
