The uber-popular social networking site Twitter, which lets people update their status with a 140 character messages has launched a brand new mobile version of their web site.
The site, which is available by heading to http://mobile.twitter.com on your mobile phone, has an all new look.
It’s just a preview so Twitter says the site works best on @Webkit browsers – Android, iPhone, Nokia S60 and Palm Web OS phones all come with these browsers installed. Other browsers like @BlackBerry work too, but they haven’t done all the fine tuning yet.
With the countless amount of full featured Twitter apps available in the iTunes App Store, I don’t see many people jumping to use this instead; but on other phone’s where Twitter applications are not as plentiful, perhaps.

I have always had a passion for gear and gadgets. It all started for me with the release of the very first Palm Pilot. I've always had an interest in handheld electronics. From handheld PDAs, to cell phones, Mp3 players, watches and other products, I'm the first person my friends, family and colleagues call when they need advice on tech. I have roots in the online tech. forum community. I served as the Administrator to Howard Forums.com and as a Moderator at both Treo Central.com and Blackberry Forums.net. Under the screen name “lgreenberg” I've amassed 50,000+ postings. I also manage my own YouTube channel under the user name larrygreenberg. I'm always eager to help.

I agree – this is only of interest where there isn’t a better app option. Of course, on those phones, the web browser is usually crap, so …
This is only good for non-smartphones. All smartphones have Twitter apps.
