Poised to cause severe cases of ADD and OCD, iTwitter will Push updates to your phone as they happen. For Twitter addicts like me, it can be a blessing and a burden. It’s a fairly nice upgrade for users that are using TwitterFon, and the interface is a step up as well. The only catch is that to receive Push updates, those users must also be using iTwitter. I presume that they did that because it is new and they wanted to get it out there, and perhaps a later update will Push updates from anyone on any client.

I haven’t really found any client I like as much as I do TwitterFon, even popular ones like TweetDeck I just can’t get into (especially the Desktop version). This one seems pretty good so far, but the update timing is a little slow compared to the other products. With 3G connectivity a bane on the battery life, we gotta make the most of our activity time, and that can’t be sitting and waiting for updates. Hopefully they will improve on that in the future.
