      Micro-blogging service Twitter has introduced a new mobile interface for its site. Optimized for Android, iPhone, WebOS and Nokia S60 browsers, the new interface carries the 'look and feel' of Twitter website. The standard m.twitter.com will continue to function as is and for the Android OS, iPhone, WebOS and select S60 handset owners can head to http://mobile.twitter.com. The interface will work on BlackBerry browsers but certain features won't be work well since the interface isn't tweaked for it.

      Twitter's new mobile interface gives Twitter web-like experience offering almost all features to the mobile interface. This new Twitter Mobile interface will eventually take over the existing m.twitter.com experience and said to work well on webkit based mobile web browsers.

      New Twitter Mobile interface offers Reply, Retweet and Favorite buttons at the end of the updates in timeline. Also, you get to see Home, Mentions, Favs (Favorite), and Msgs (Direct Messsages). The user gets to see his/her count of updates, followers and also popular trending topics just below Search box located at the bottom of the page. One can turn off images with the option at the end in order to have faster reload times and also save some data packets.      Instead of Previous and Forward option like in m.twitter.com, the new Twitter Mobile interface has More button just like the Twitter web. New Update box shows character count which worked for us only on iPhone OS based iPhone-iPod Touch.

      This new mobile interface will surely lure more Twitter users to stay logged in from mobile while they're on the go. However, the rest can continue using m.twitter.com from their mobile browsers.
