Tweed – Twitter app for the Palm Pre
Tweed is a sleek, fast, and functional Twitter application for the Palm Pre. My favorite thing about is that you can send a new tweet from wherever you are on the application with a single tap. It really makes it dead simple to send a tweet. It also has a few other thoughtful touches, such as the ability to change font sizes, and use multiple accounts. In addition to being able to search twitter and browse twitter trends, you can bookmark these for later perusal. You can filter tweets and only look at your direct messages, and it’s very easy to reply to and retweet messages.
Notifications pop-up like other Pre notifications, as a small status bar at the bottom of the screen. New tweets and the status of just sent tweets and confirmations all appear as unobtrusive notifications. You can use Tweed even if you don’t have a twitter account to search and browse twitter. This is a really elegantly done application – lots of attention to detail. Tweed is free and available on the App Catalog now.

Tweed is very good but it needs picture integration like Twitpic, Yfrog and etc.
You’re right Christopher. This is only the first of many Twitter applications that will be mushrooming soon – Palm has said that over 800 applications were sent in to their SDK program just for Twitter apps! No doubt we’ll see some more feature-heavy ones soon.
Keep an eye on this space.
