Tweetie 2, suddenly disappeared from AppStore. I suspect that Twitter for iPhone gonna debut real soon.
Tweetie 2 was acquired by Twitter last month and it’s developer Loren Brichter was recruited by Twitter to make Tweetie 2 as Twitter’s official app, which is planned to be renamed as Twitter for iPhone.
Couple of weeks back Tweetie 2 users received an update 2.1.2a with Slot Machine tease which shows a banner with “Tweetie will be Twitter for iPhone” when we drag to refresh the timeline.
This probably shows that. Tweetie will not get an update with “Twitter for iPhone” makeover. It’s going to be a completely new app. If you like the existing Tweetie 2, you can simply backup your app before you upgrade to Twitter for iPhone app. At the moment we can’t say whether Tweeite is removed by the developer or by Apple. If it’s removed by Apple, it can either be update to existing app or a completely new one. If it’s removed by the developer it means only one thing and that is, Twitter for iPhone will be a different new app and not be an update to the existing one.
