iOS app info on Twitter

Twitter has just upgraded their services to include iTunes App Store integration. Now you no longer have to go into iTunes or the online iTunes App Store just to find out more about an app – the Twitter site now lists the important app information at the bottom of a tweet that an app is linked in. Pretty nifty integration if you ask me. It’s nice to see Twitter evolving from a simple text-only micro-blogging/communication service into the huge social multi-media network it is now. The feature only works on the official Twitter website at the moment, though you can expect it to roll out to the official and third party apps in the near future. Any guesses to when Twitter will support the Mac App Store, Android Market or Windows Marketplace?

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
