I concur that there should be some sort of Twitter/Facebook/MySpace universal app that posts across applications. At the moment I'd settle for a Twitter client

Looks they're being worked on:

But nothing yet...

My 2 cents (not being a developer) - for a dedicated Twitter client I'd love to see something that lived in the status bar. When it's clicked it pops open a window that has an input field and the last 3 or 4 tweets from friends. And as long as we're dreaming, it would be great if it notified you when someone posts something new.

For the moment, there is a Facebook app that will sync your status on Facebook with Twitter. It's appropriately named Twittersync. At least with that I only have to update once.

*edit* Ok I stand corrected. After a little more digging it looks like Gwibber is still in the alpha stage but getting close, and you can download the source from svn. The dev is actually a writer for Ars Technica and mentioned Gwibber in his review of the N810

duh ... can't believe I missed that one ... ars was one of the reasons I got turned on to the Tablet in the first place.
