Back on April 15th I bitched about the fact that AT&T had no iPhone app for managing your wireless account.

I think AT&T needs to make an iPhone app for checking account information and making payments. It makes sense, right?

Last night I was perusing the free apps area of the store and found that AT&T had finally released an iPhone app for account management.  The myWireless Mobile app is free and it is dead simple to use.

The app connects to your existing AT&T Wireless online account, and provides you with basic information on account usage and bill information.  You can also add and remove existing features right from the app.

I think it is about time that AT&T released an app, they have had the iPhone on their network since 2007.

You can download the app for free from the App Store.

What do you think of the new app from AT&T, leave your comments below.  Cheers!

My favorite Twitter app: Tweetie

Ever since I got an iPhone I have found it easier to stay connected.  One of the best apps for keeping me connected to Twitter is Tweetie.

At first I was hesitant to pay for an app that I knew nothing about.  This atebits company didn’t have a desktop app, so I was unsure as what to expect from them.  After jumping around in the forums and asking some questions of my own, I knew that I had to get this program.  My friends were surprised that I paid for an app, because I am cheapskate :)

I have to say that Tweetie has paid off for me.  The best feature of the program is that I can run multiple accounts in the app.  That has been helpful, since there are four Twitter accounts that I manage.

Last month I told Albert (@iAlbert) about the program, because he was managing his Twitter accounts with different programs on his iPhone.  I told him that the app was $2.99 and management of multiple accounts was simple.  He has been using the app and loves it, sure beats all of those others apps he had installed!

There are other great aspects of Tweetie too.  The multiple display options for viewing the timeline (my preference is dark), the abililty to save drafts for posting later, and the ever-funny poopularity enhancer.  If you are a fan of the fart apps, you will like the popularity enhancer.

With the launch of Tweetie for Mac and all of the rave reviews about it, it seems that atebits has made using Twitter that much more simple and fun with these great apps.

Cheers!
