and even better - have the iPad app sync the timeline position with the iPhone app so you can tread your stream on either..

Too bad it's crashing on iPhone 3G. Hope this will be fixed with an update.

I was disappointed to find it doesn't work on my 3G, shame because I quite like the other tapbots

There's certainly some nice features, and it's a nice UI. But I much prefer Twitter clients that show more tweets on the screen at once. The large location and retweet-info bars mean I see about 30% fewer tweets in some parts of my timeline compared to other apps, even with the small font size set. Anyone find this is an immediate turn-off for a twitter app?

…why?

Twitter trademarked "Tweet".

Twitterific has Twitter in the name, and it's been around for ages.

Beautiful UI. My first Tapbots app. Very impressed. I wish it had native push notifications and landscape support though =/ Will be using it as my primary client for a bit though, to see how it goes.

I believe some companies have made agreements with Twitter which allows them to use Twitter in their name. I don't think Twitter does this anymore.

They made Touiteur (Twitter client for Android) change theirs to Plume for Twitter, which sucks. Not the new name (well, it does a bit), but the fact that they made them change a great name. Grrr.
