The popular Twitter client Tweetie -- available for both Mac and iPhone -- is getting a major overhaul.

Tweetie 2.0 for iPhone is built on the same framework -- dubbed "Bigbird" the Mac version enjoyed, stripped to essentials and updated. The new version also promises a complete offline mode with caching of tweets and the ability to remember exactly where you left off. It also fully supports landscape mode, gestures and even has a complete draft mode that can send updates to Birdhouse. Whew!

Some other cool features include:
  • Saved searches
  • Better threaded conversations
  • Link to iPhone address book
  • Multiple attachment support
  • Hashtag picker
  • Short URL previews
Former Download Squad'er Christina Warren managed to sneak in a preview for Mashable, which looks rather promising. Tweetie 2.0 for iPhone is coming soon and will cost $2.99. The Mac version update will be free.
