Trumpets 'Pivot Power' on Microsoft's platform.
Twitter has launched its official Windows Phone 7 application, and praised the "clean design" of Microsoft's new smartphone OS as being ideal for tweeting.
The app matches the existing versions for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry for features, and can be used with or without a Twitter account (albeit only to read other people's tweets in the latter case).
In its blog post introducing the app, Twitter hails the Metro design and user interface for WP7 as "especially great for Twitter users because it's simple and easy to use".
The company is using Microsoft's Pivot feature to let users swipe between different screens, from timeline to mentions to direct messages for example.
Interestingly, though, the Twitter WP7 app wasn't created entirely in-house. The company worked with a 'development partner' called IdentityMine.
