Twitterrific For iPad Finally Gets Picture And Video Uploading

The Iconfactory's Twitterrific for iPad was one of the best iPad-optimized Twitter apps available at launch for a handful of reasons. It was elegant like the original, free to try, stable (yeah, this one's directed at you TweetDeck), and contained just enough features to get you by. But "just enough features" only gets you so far, especially this far out after launch. Thankfully The Iconfactory heard our cries and have finally added the ability to upload pictures and videos in v1.1, among a handful of other worthy features and fixes. Twitterrific for iPad v1.1 now allows you to upload pictures and videos via a variety of services including yFrog, TwitPic, TwitVid, Posterous, img.ly, and more. Twitter power users can even choose to configure their own custom image uploading services. Twitterrific for iPad is also able to handle image URLs from img.ly and Tweetphoto better by allowing them to appear as popovers. Other new features include:

• Twitterrific now uses OAuth
• Reply all (by default)

Improvements:

• Number of API calls per hour increased due to OAuth switch
• Supports internationalized domain names in URLs
• Improved parsing of Twitter status URLs
• Better handling of links containing special characters
• Compose view is now better able to handle undo
• Improved handling of your own tweets & replies

And bug fixes:

• Used full screen mode to avoid video playing behind mini-browser
• Saving images to the photo album now works correctly
• Registered users are no longer reminded to register again
• Users can no longer use email addresses to log in
• The number of new tweets is reported correctly
• Multiple popovers are handled correctly

If you are still searching for that perfect iPad Twitter app, give Twitterrific for iPad a shot.  It's completely free.  If you end up enjoying it, you can always remove the ads and get multiple account support for $4.99 as an in-app purchase.
