He could at least have left tweetie 1 on the app store for people to download again. If this becomes a habit. I will revert to jailbroken and use their 'updates' for free Bit annoyed that i paid for an app that i can no longer use.

As I like reading every tweet I can (and being a bit lower profile than you, I can do that more easily -- one of the perks of being a lesser-known dev? :D ), Tweetie 2's resuming of exactly where I'm at when I get a call or whatever is pretty handy. Twittelator tries to do that, and does okay, but not great. I'm curious how Tweetie will handle things when I have over 200 unread tweets - if it'll just keep grabbing them back to my current position or not. I may just ignore the stream in that client until tomorrow afternoon to see what happens. I can totally respect your approach and thinking of it that way, Tweetie 2 definitely isn’t right for you.

Weird. Regardless, keep my previous spot still tells me that I have a lot of tweets to catch up on. That isn't what I'm looking for.

That's a built-in iPhone thing. Alex, if you tap the top menu bar near the carrier name it should scroll up. That’s a built-in iPhone thing.

If 2.0 is so diagonally different, offer an upgrade path to those of us who paid for the original. Let’s say, for $0.99. It isn’t the $2.99, it is the slap on the face.

It is a complete re-write, with an un-original name. I might sound like a troll, but I am not. I am just slightly pissed. I paid for Tweetie, when I could have used it for free (jailbroken iPhone).
