I'd pay way, way more than that.
Can you give more details on how twitter has been so valuable to you?
A dollar is "valuable"?

Reminds me of many Android apps: instead of selling the app on the Marketplace the developers opt to include advertisements which cheapen the overall experience.
Angry Birds is a great example. I would gladly pay the piddly .99c they ask on iOS, if given the choice! The iOS version is paid only and ad free, while the Android version is free only, with intrusive ads.
Which are easy to bypass btw - just turn off data connection while you play it.

#24Am I the only who's not getting the purpose of this "Dickbar" ?

I would email Dick and ask for a special ad-free version that goes out to all paid Tweetie customers.
Unfortunately, that isn't possible in the AppStore, afaik. You can sell to everyone, or give away for free, but not to a limited group (beyond the 100 promo codes thing.)
The app is free for everyone, but previous Tweetie owners could have their ads disabled.

Android sounds like a great experience.

#27In 2010 I wanted an iPhone Twitter client with a nice UI and no ads, so I paid $2.99 for Tweetie 2. This was after I bought Tweetie 1 for $2.99. Tweetie 2 wasn't a free upgrade. In 2011, after acquiring Tweetie 2 and making it free, Twitter adds paid advertisements and wrecks the UI.
I would email Dick and ask for a special ad-free version that goes out to all paid Tweetie customers.
Those of us who weren't using twitter at the time shouldn't have to deal with the #dickbar either, add a paid option in general, sure make it free for Tweetie1/2 customers, but provide the option to everyone!

#28The dickbar can be removed from iPhone Twitter with the jailbreak application Twizzler:

Re: Get your own #dickbar
#29I would like to point out that there is an app called Twizzler, or more "patch" on Cydia that takes care of the problem:

#30Startups make mistakes... I'm pretty surprised that Twitter is responding with "It's a feature, not a bug. This is something you WANT-- trust us!" http://twitter.com/#!/dickc/status/43500398450982912 http://twitter.com/#!/dickc/status/44302983839756288 Bummer.
Sounds like they'll be either changing or removing it: http://twitter.com/twittermobile/status/43730986864885760
