Perhaps I spoke too soon: Tweetie 2 = wow, but do you really need another $3?

Earlier this week, I wrote a long, rambling post about how I love Twittelator PRO as my Twitter iApp of choice.

OF COURSE, in a cruel turn of events, Tweetie 2 was just released this week.

My first thought: “I have to shell out another $2.99 again?!”

It’s not that $3 is really THAT much money.  Truthfully, I’m happy to pay it – especially because Tweetie 2 seems like such an incredible application.

It’s more because with Paid Apps, upgrades are usually free.  Also, if you paid for an app MONTHS ago but deleted it from your iPhone…then changed your mind and wanted to get it back again – it’s STILL free to re-upload it onto your iPhone.

But these smart Tweetie 2 MoFos: instead of offering an upgrade, they introduce it as Tweetie 2.0 – so it’s as if it’s a brand new application.  Ya gotta pay $2.99 all over again.

Given that the 1st gen Tweetie was the #1 paid Twitter app, it’s no surprise that nothing – not even a measly $3 – is going to come between the new Tweetie 2.

Full review of the app to come: need more time to play with it.  But so far, it’s SO SLICK!  I think Twittelator PRO might have been dethroned.
