Twitter on the iPad: Sweetness

So far, I have resisted getting an Apple iPad, mostly because it has been difficult to justify when you already own a MacBook and MacBook Pro.

But in the search for excuses to buy an iPad, Twitter may have come up something that makes an iPad purchase irresistible. Twitter has just rolled out a new application for the iPad, which lets Twitter users do things that they wouldn’t be able to do using a PC or a mobile device.

In particular, the ability to check out the links that people embed in their tweets is what make the iPad application so great. All you do is touch the link and the Web page, blog, photo or video appears. It makes Twitter more user-friendly and, of course, the iPad even more attractive.

All in all, it is probably the most innovative thing Twitter has done since the service launched.
