Twitter posted this news on Official Twitter blog.

Comprehensive analysis of the Twitter user experience in the iTunes App Store showed very plainly that people were looking for an app from Twitter—we didn’t have one so they generally got confused and gave up. Obviously, we saw room for improvement. Starting today, Twitter for iPhone and iPod touch is available for free on the iTunes App Store. Loren, Leland, and the rest of the Mobile team have artfully crafted an application that takes the Twitter experience to a whole new level of awesomeness. We hope you’ll love it like we do.

Some features of Twitter application are:

• Search has been reorganized, now you can search all tweets and find users in the same spot, view Top  Tweets and Browse Suggested users.
• Search results now include Top Tweets, try it with Trends…winner combo!

• Sign-up is now available within the application as well, complete with Suggested user list.
