Then I heard about a beta product making the rounds, Twikini, and gave it a try. At first, it was very fast, but lacked features and had some bugs that I couldn't deal with. But, being a beta, I kept trying new builds as they were released, and left feedback for the developers as to features I'd like, and problems that needed fixed. And, after trying the newest version, 1.1, it's safe to say that they listened!
The app is very fast and looks great. And, throughout it's beta stage, the developers kept adding features that people thought necessary. Some of these features include URL shortening, direct messaging within the app, viewing user profiles, notifications of new tweets, GPS location support, and the ability to view the public timeline from within the application.
The only addition I'd like to see would be for the ability to search twitter from within the app. But, even if that never comes about, I'm still very happy with Twikini, and will continue to use it.
While beta testing this app, I never could bring myself to completely uninstall either TinyTwitter or Pocketwit, due to problems or missing features in Twikini. But, if this new version keeps functioning as well for the next few days as it has been, as I fully suspect it will, Twikini will be the only one on my phone.

The full version can be bought with one of their other apps for just $4.95, which doesn't seem like a bad deal to me.
