Data Hog! Twitter's Own iPhone App Uses Twice The Data Of Tweetdeck

Remember all those big hints Twitter gave about not developing client apps any more? Well that's working out well for them. It turns out their own, in-house client app for the iPhone is the worst of all the major Twitter apps for hogging data. In fact the official Twitter App uses double the data of the Tweetdeck iPhone app, according to a new study by mobile data management startup Onavo. Perhaps it's just as well Twitter bought Tweetdeck recently...Of course, double the data usage can end up meaning double the cost, depending on your mobile contract and if you are roaming abroad. We've reached out to Twitter for comment on this.
