The latest and greatest Hahlo has just been released live to the world, the original Twitter client for iPhone just got even better. Hahlo 3 has been in development for the past month, and in active beta testing for the past two and bit weeks. The beta itself has proved popular among users, with over 1,000 people signing up to take part. Not bad when compare to just the 120-odd that tested the Hahlo 2 Beta last year. Several sites have run reviews of the Hahlo 3 Beta, including a nice detailed preview by The Unofficial Apple Weblog.

Good work!
Excellent work, Dean. I’ve tried just about every method of using Twitter on my iPhone since I got it last summer, and Hahlo has always been my weapon of choice. I did seem to have issues sending Direct Messages though, as the select box would always display the wrong usernames. But it seems you’ve fixed a lot of issues and added some great features (I love the new menu layout).
I’ve mostly been using Twinkle lately, since it’s a native app and has the location services, which come in handy. But it’s lacking simple things that Hahlo has, so there are times when I load up Safari instead. Now I have more reasons to do just that.
Thanks for all your hard work.
Looking pretty sweet, I think I’m switching back.
Hahlo 3 looks awesome Dean, Congratulations on all your hard work !
