Twitter is releasing a native Windows 7 app! Rejoice!
The platform’s design and user interface, which is called Metro, is especially great for Twitter users because it’s simple and easy to use. It also provides a different way to look at information on a phone’s screen through Pivots, which are sort of like pages of the app.
Pivots allow you to swipe left or right to view different categories or types of information within a single application. For example, in Twitter for Windows Phone, you can swipe left or right to move from your timeline to mentions to direct messages.
I’m not sure how many of our readers here are Windows 7 users but this is some very nice news, right?
Screens after the jump…
Looks pretty smooth and slick, but nothing like the iPhone.
James King says
It certainly doesn’t look anything like the iPhone version, but that really is the point. The Windows Phone 7 app is made to feel like a natural or native part of Windows Phone 7, just like the iOS version is made to feel like it truly belongs as a part of iOS.
