If the plethora of Twitter web-applications for the iPhone just isn't up to snuff for your Twittering (Tweeting?) ways, there's an substitute to the native iPhone Twitter client that I mentioned previously. MobileTwitter gives you the convenience of staying addicted to Twitter on your iPhone, but does away with the clunky and sometimes frustrating UI of the Twitter web-app clients like Hahlo and PocketTweets.

Twinkle is the newest iPhone-native Twitter application available for Jailbroken (jailbreak-ed?) iPhones. Twinkle one-ups MobileTwitter by integrating the iPhone's positional data into the Twitter client - Twinkle calls it “Locate Me.” What you get is an on-the-go Twitter client that always knows where you are. What's the point? Well, turn on the Locate Me feature and Twinkle will find the other Twitter users within a 1, 2, 10, or 50 mile radius of your current location and serve up those users' Tweets. Think Google's Dodgeball, but designed for Twitter and with a tiny more randomness built in.

The location-based Locate Me is a very special find in Twinkle, and combined with the application's sleek design, Twinkle is a Twitter-ific (sorry, couldn't resist) iPhone app. The Twinkle UI is fun to use and responds much more swiftly that any web-app. Grab it from Installer.app today. You'll have to have the “www.polarbearfarm.com/repo/” application repository to your Source List, so add it if you don't already have it listed.

Just as we expected, NetBlender has officially outed their BD Touch application for iPhone and iPod Touch today. As you'll probably recall, BD Touch essentially turns your iPhone (and iTouch) into a remote control for your Bluray Disc player (even the PS3).

Through the magic of your Bluray Player's BD-Live technology, the iPhone in your pocket is now a remote control and even a portable media player. BD Touch grants you to send movies from, state, your PS3 to your iPhone straight from the disc menu. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has to build stated features into the Bluray Disc before you can take your Bluray movies on the road.

Fret not, major studios are apparently behind the idea, so it's only a matter of time before you can take your Bluray goodness with you anywhere you go.
