News: Twitter for iPhone approved

After rejecting the Twitter iPhone app recently, Apple has finally come to terms and approved a Twitter iPhone app even though it sometimes shows naughty words.
The application developer, Loren Brichter, said in an e-mail earlier Tuesday, that Apple quoted this part of the company's guidelines as a reason for the decision:

"Applications must not contain any obscene, pornographic, offensive, or defamatory content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, etc.), or other content or materials that in Apple's reasonable judgement may be found objectionable by iPhone or iPod Touch users."

Tweetie 1.3 itself offers this list of features below.
