Twitter updates iPhone webapp

Twitter is used a lot on the road, either from a laptop, cellphone or smart phone. Until today the smart phone web page was absolutely terrible. Very unorganized, hard to find content and not functional. The page was aimed specifically to phones with a browser and keypad. Browsing the page with something like an iPhone or an android touch based phone was near impossible. Luckily this wasn't a real problem as the appstore contains some really great twitter applications (Tweetie (paid), Echofon (free) warning: Links will open iTunes). It is however nice to see that Twitter isn't giving up.

You can reach the new mobile page by visiting mobile.twitter.com. You can still visit the old page by going to m.twitter.com. The first thing you will notice is the resemblance to the full browser version of Twitter. It feels more 2009 and less 1999. Little things are still missing, lists for example (a new Twitter feature) aren't yet implemented. I expect this to happen soon though. Check out a before/after gallery after the break.
