Atebits Releases Tweetie 2 for iPhone with Many New Features

Atebits announced the release of Tweetie 2 for iPhone Friday, a release that adds a digital ton of new features to the iPhone Twitter client. The company said it has a new engine, allows for previewing short URLs, and is built to make room for upcoming new features for the Twitter platform.

Other key new features include the ability to edit your profile in-app, the ability to write multiple tweets when you're not online (they get sent all at once when you connect), support for Safari bookmarklets, the ability to link Twitter addresses to Apple Address Book contacts, and more.
