For those of you Twitterers who use Tweetie on iPhone, you know that atebits makes a solid product.  We've been beta testing their Tweetie Mac desktop client for a week and we can confirm that it is a simple, solid product.  It does what it is supposed to do then gets out of the way.  We've been using Twitteriffic until now which has some other great features but are inclined to make the switch to Tweetie.

Tweetie for Mac Desktop is available now for $15 but they offer a free, ad supported version that is almost as nice.  Download here. 

You can follow 9to5mac on twitter here.  We're throwing in some extra bits now an again that we aren't going to put "in print".  By the way, if you are looking for a very far out Twtter experience, try the new 3D Twitter experience called Twitt3D.

 Tell Oprah we said hi!

Eh.. I use TwitterFon for my iPhone and Nambu for my Mac.

They shouldnt charge for Twitter Apps! (I did buy it for my iphone, and I still like Fon more)

I downloaded Tweetie- simple and easy to use. Going to recommend to friends and colleagues. And Twitt3D is very cool too- loved flying through the Twitterverse

I am currently using TweetDeck and it can be a memory hog. How is Tweetie on memory usage? I love the Tweetie iPhone client. They did a wonderful job with the app.

Tweetie is much better. No resource hogging Adobe runtime to
deal with.

TweetDeck also has a habit of locking up randomly, requiring a force quit. No such problem with Tweetie.
