The much-anticipated Twitter client Tweetie 2.1 has finally arrived on the iPhone. It's the first major update to Tweetie 2, and it features support for Lists, Geotagging and native retweets.

One of the most-anticipated changes is the way the app displays retweets, with a small version of the retweeter's icon inset on the original poster's. The "quote tweet" option is still available, so if you're a fan of the old-style retweets, you can still use them just as easily.

Tweetie 2.1's support for the list feature includes the ability to create, edit and view lists. To access it, just go to your profile and scroll down. Other people's lists, of course, are found on their own profile pages.

In terms of geolocation, tweets sent using Twitter's new geotag support will show up with a red pin icon in the corner. Clicking the pin will display the city the tweet was sent from, and allow you to zoom in to the precise location of the tweet on a Google Map. You can also geotag your own tweets, of course.

If you want to give Tweetie 2.1 a spin, it's $2.99 in the app store, or a free update for current Tweetie 2 users.Tweetie 2.1 hits App Store, supports Twitter's new features originally appeared on Download Squad on Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
