TweetDeck Nears For The iPhone. Set To Battle Tweetie

Digg co-founder Kevin Rose got his hands on a new iPhone application that a lot of people will be interested in: TweetDeck . Yes, the popular desktop application is coming to the iPhone "soon," according to Rose. But what's really interesting about it is his statement that, "I can say now that it's going to replace tweetie as my default twitter iphone app." That's a bold statement, given that Tweetie has been the iPhone app of choice for many diehard Twitter users for months now. And this move by TweetDeck is an interesting one because it clearly signals a budding rivalry between the two, as Tweetie just recently moved from the iPhone to the desktop as well. Now TweetDeck will move the opposite way. Another player in this game, Seesmic, is also about to launch an iPhone app .
