The race for the ultimate iPhone Twitter app did not slow down after Twitter.com purchased and relaunched Tweetie. No, no, no… now there is a Hello Kitty iPhone Twitter client in the marketplace. This absolute game changer is probably making Tweetie managers cry at their desks.

The app was developed by Digital Garage–makers of the free Japanese Twitter client Tappit. Images of the cute cat were licensed by Sanrio.

The price of the novalty app is: $3.99.
