tweetdeck to small screen

So tweetdeck [http://bit.ly/tweetdeck4iphone] app finally released today (was curious how long apple was going to take, but apple was nice enough to let it through on the on the first real submit though it took a full week to approve).

This was a very challenging project as getting the “TweetDeck Experience” onto the small screen was quite a feat. cc took the leap at the beginning of the project that we could create a ux like that of the multipage view for safari as tweet columns and it was his hard work that we were able to pull that off. Have just been watching the summize stream (ah i mean twitter search) and its crazy as people are tweeting about the iphone about about once a second. Overall the response seems pretty positive, but people are definitely pointing out a few missing features.

Again here, this is real 1.0 app. Most of the twitter apps out there have been through a few version and there feature sets are quite mature. We hope with a couple of minor releases we should have the app fully featured up, but again with this first release we had to prioritize.

Its going to be interesting over the next week distilling all the feedback and seeing where improvements should be made. Am mostly curious to see what people are going to say about performance. It does “lag” in a few places but only as result of so much data being processed.

Hey guys, just found out you're Philly based. I'm a TweetDeck for iPhone user and have commented on it's functionality and UI design on Twitter twitter.com/attila — if you would like to hear from a local user with some background in beta testing and product development I would be happy to offer my impression.

I just love that you're Philly based. Found out from Alex Hillman.. sorry I didn't introduce myself at the Mashable/IndyHall mixer.

Tweetdeck for iPhone is also not VoiceOver compliant, as seem to be most of the apps you issue.
