Tweesy
Tweesy is a simple and lightweight Twitter client. It was primarily designed to transfer minimal network traffic due to the limited bandwidth of the iPhone 2G´s Edge connection.
Tweesy is of course compatible with the 3G and 3GS iPhones and will be improved and updated for future generations.
Features:
- No Adverts!
- List friends recent Tweets
- List of "mentions"
- No images are downloaded to save on bandwidth. This also avoids long waits where twitter users have uploaded large profile images
- Direct messaging, this has a simple input field for the recipient. Useful for those who have thousands of contacts on their lists, which could not possibly be downloaded into an address list. You can only send direct messages to friends however.
- Displays remaining character limit
