I just got an iPhone (my first Apple appliance). What is the right way to set this up on the iPhone?

Go to the App Store and search for "Twitter"--there are a number of apps for it. I just use the regular Twitter app, which is free and works fine. Once installed you just sign in with your username and password (assuming you've already signed up for Twitter. If you haven't, I think it will let you set up an account as well). It's pretty easy to use after that.
 
I am currently using the Official Twitter app. on my Android.

I have found that some third party apps. (including "Peep" which came with the phone) tend to break more often than the Official one: On occasion, the log in won't work, or when it does, it can't find new Tweets.
I Have not had any significant issues with the Official app., though.
 
Can we set up a twitter account where we can go grouse about things that go wrong?
 
I've had my iPhone for about 2 months and have only ever used the official Twitter app. I haven't encountered any problems.

Peep was fine, but Twitter have apparently changed something with their security which means it, and a few other 3rd party apps, no longer work.

Does the official app push new updates to the notification bar? I liked that about Peep.
 
I'm following TAMInfo now, but apparently nothing is happening. Not "Randi shopping for little travel toothpaste". Not "DJ booked a dog-sitter, finally!" Not "Did anyone remember to ask Hrab to submit his jokes for review by Hal?"

Is there anybody out there?

The GroupTweet function hasn't been turned on yet so there's nothing going on.

Are you following @jref?
 
Slightly off topic: Why am I following about ten idiots that I swear I did not follow explictly? Did I click some links that auto-followed them?

On a slightly off-topic topic, is there a list of twitter names of attendees somewhere? Or has someone set up a TAM9 attendee twitter list that we can follow?

Ooh, do we need a table?

This sounds like a useful service, but what about for those of us who don't take part in the Twitters? Will there be some kind of carrier pigeon backup plan? If not, could we have somebody "think" the tweets out to those of us with psychic abilities?

The backup plan is to hang around with other attendees, with at least one of them owning a device that can read the feed, at any given time.

That's what I had to resort to doing, last year, since my Smart Phone was shipped out too late for me to get it in time for TAM8. You know, it wasn't really that bad.

This year, of course, I'll be one of the ones with one of them Smart Phones.

ETA: I will also be bringing along a Tablet PC, though I might not bring it everywhere.
