Twitter for iOS updated to included push notifications

In this video I demonstrate the iPad version of the official twitter application for iOS. Yesterday version 2.3.1 of the Twitter app was released into the iTunes app store that included a number of bug fixes, slight user interface tweaks, and push notifications for @replys and messages. You can grab the application from the app store here.

Boxcar has been the dominate app in the twitter push notification space for a while. Boxcar recently received a major update that added many new features such as notifications when you receive a new follower, your tweet is re-tweeted, your tweet is starred, or you are added to a list. I personally have turned off boxcar notifications for @replys and messages and plan on relying on the official push notifications which have already been more consistent. I have however, left boxcar installed on my iPhone and iPad for the additional push notifications giving me the best of both worlds. Let me know in the comments what your favorite way to receive twitter notifications is?
