Twitterrific v2.1 Update Now Available, Includes iPhone 3GS Video Support

The Iconfactory has really come out swinging with their most recent Twitterrific update.  They have added tons of user-requested features, including iPhone 3GS optimization and video support (recording, posting, and viewing), which puts the app back in the running for the best Twitter app available for the iPhone and iPod touch. Since the update list is so massive, we will just drop it in at the bottom of this post, but here are just some of the other headlining additions: in-app email support, "load more" button to retrieve older tweets, built-in browser includes landscape orientation, and it's even prepared for the second coming of the Twitpocalypse. Both Twitterrific and Twitterrific Premium received the same improvements, but the difference is, of course, that the free version is ad-supported. Twitterrific Premium is available in the App Store for $3.99. Other new features:

• Added a copy menu for selected tweet (tap and hold to see menu.)
• Added a menu for links in tweet. Tap and hold the link and the menu appears with the URL for the shortened link at the top. It also allows you to open the link in Safari or copy it to the clipboard.
• Tweets can now be selected and translated to your language with the action bar.
• Added a copy menu for the image in the photo viewer (tap and hold to see the menu.)

• Improved the wording for the "launch in sources" setting.
