Twitter announced that they entered into an agreement with Atebits (aka Loren Brichter) to acquire Tweetie, a leading iPhone Twitter client. Tweetie will be renamed Twitter for iPhone and made free (currently $2.99) in the iTunes AppStore in the coming weeks. Loren will become a key member of their mobile team that is already having huge impact with device makers and service providers around the world. Loren’s work won the 2009 Apple Design Award and they will eventually launch Twitter for iPad with his help.
