Twitter Getting Photos In Order Ahead Of iOS 5 Integration

I wonder if TwitPic's motivation for striking the controversial deal with World Entertainment News Network was to mitigate the big drop in ad revenue they will see if Twitter launches their own photo service.

I keep thinking about whether this will spell doom for the photo services, but then I begin to remember that I use TweetBot and not Twitter for iPhone - and why. :)<p>I look forward to how the increased competition will force the photo service providers to prove their product.

I feel that this is a part of a major Camera.app overhaul. Right now, it's been left up to third parties to create the best camera experience (see Camera+), which Apple has never liked any developer doing. Something very similar to iPhoto for iPhone would be my guess.
