A couple weeks ago we did a preview of Tweetie 2, the next version of the iPhone Twitter client. To say there was a lot of interest in obtaining the app is an understatement. And now you can. Earlier today, Apple approved the app, and it just went live in the App Store.

You may not be able to find it through a search right now, but use this link to go directly to it.

As we noted originally, the app is $2.99 even if you bought the original Tweetie. This has been the source of some controversy, as some users (like former Who’s The Boss stars) don’t understand why this isn’t a free upgrade. But we feel the many upgrades in the new app warrant the price.

More importantly, it’s $3, you probably spend at least that on coffee everyday. And you’ve probably spent ten times that on fart apps.
