I am still using older cell phones. I'm seeing people uploading images via Twinkle. Do you know anything about this service or how it works? It would be nice if you could just MMS Twitter with a JPG and it shows up as a link but I doubt it is that simple. :) You are lucky to have an iPhone. I am still using older cell phones.

The ideal solution would be to have Twitter UI not change at all and just recognize it's a URL. Even if it could auto calculate the size of a tiny URL so I don't have to go and convert every URL I post. I agree for hand held devices it's great since I don't usually post URLs from my iPhone.

I always thought it was kind of dumb until I gave it an honest try (on as clarkeph). I think addressing your concerns would take away some of the beauty of the simplicity. I love being able to post simple updates from my blackberry (TwitterBerry). There is litereally no UI just a box and a send button. Ian it looks like we got hooked on Twitter around the same time.
