When I first downloaded the beta version of the new Twitter for BlackBerry application to my Curve 8900, I’ll admit I was enamored. The app reflected the minimal, simplistic design of the Twitter website, with obvious buttons, an always-present tweet box, and nice, easy-to-read text.
But I was also confused. I thought it was the creation of RIM, as that’s who came to DVICE pitching its trial run, but upon the app’s public launch last week, it was revealed that it’s really the “official” Twitter app for BlackBerry, and that the microblogging service worked with RIM on it.
Upon learning this, I wondered what Twitter was thinking.
