Official Twitter for iPad App Launched

Twitter recently launched its official Twitter for iPad application bringing tweeting all sorts of content through Apple’s popular tablet computer. The application is available free from Apple’s App Store.

Twitter for iPad is focused on managing information shared on Twitter through the tablet’s touch-screen so that users don’t have to open and close windows or click buttons. Steering clear of those gestures is part of the tablet’s appeal and is a big reason why Apple has sold more than 3 million iPads. It is also noted that tapping on a tweet on Twitter for iPad opens a pane to the right, and it’s now easy to move between panes by swiping to the right or left.

To view details about the author and reply or retweet, users may pinch on a tweet. By putting two fingers together and pulling down on a tweet to peek at the replies, users can view the entire conversation leading to that tweet.

Twitter for iPad users who tap a video link or open a Web page to view a video may play that content inline and pinch on that video to watch it full screen.

And finally, Twitter offers accounts across sports, news, and art and design to let users begin searching and viewing trends, thus, users needn’t log in to use Twitter for iPad.
