It’s out, and it’s probably the best twitter client for the iPad. Instead of going with the obvious route, Loren Brichter (who’s now part of Twitter) has created a fantastic new user interface introducing some stunning new user interface concepts that will influence a lot of the apps we see today. Thank you Loren, you’ve finally brought Twitter to the iPad, literally. It’s a free universal app, and will soon show up on the App Store.

If you’re too impatient, you can watch this Engadget video review of the app. So good.

My biggest gripe with it is that I can’t reach the timeline with my thumbs to scroll in landscape mode. Annoying!

Also, the multitouch gestures are not obvious at all and are really hard to make work. It just feels over-designed.

Other than that, I think it’s pretty great. More UI than I need, though, so I’ll probably stick with Twitterriffic.

Overall, I love the design. However, similar to how iBooks and Kindle are, I wish it would sync where you are between the devices, that way you don’t have to find your place whenever you switch devices.
