Tweetie for Mac coming soon, teaser video out now

Tweetie has taken the iPhone Twitter client market by storm, and anticipation for the desktop version has been building sometime. The developer, Atebits, is fueling the fire a little bit more with a preview video of Tweetie's new Mac version, which is due out on Monday, April 20. The preview shows a UI with a toolbar down the side, and chat bubble styling for the main stream.

It looks like there's support for multiple accounts, and for zooming in on a single conversation thread. The search features everyone likes in Tweetie for iPhone seem to be here, too, but the direct message page is new: it can apparently be sorted by individual contacts. There's also a nice link-sharing feature that I'm sure a lot of people will make use of.
We'll report more on Tweetie when we get a chance to test it out, so watch this space.
