Native third-party Twitter client for jailbreak-ed iPhones

Tired of having to resort to web-based solution for updating your Twitter account from your iPhone? Yea, me too. It’s about time that somebody came along and launched a native, third-party application that puts the power of Twitter right on your iPhone. No more web-apps folks, this is a locally installed Twitter client.
Nicholas Pike’s MobileTwitter has just launched on Installer.app through STE’s application repository. Go check your Installer.app “Recent Packages” list, you’ll see MobileTwitter hanging out there. Of course, you have to jailbreak your iPhone to get Installer.app up and running (not to mention the ability to actually install third-party applications), so get to it if you haven’t already.
As it stands, MobileTwitter is a vast improvement over the Hahlo or PocketTweets web-apps solutions. And, Pike has more improvements planned down the line, so MobileTwitter can only get better.

Twitter is good but I like Jaiku more. I’m waiting for the new version of jaiku (as it has partnered with Google)
