Buy it! If Twitter comes out for the PlayBook in the next week I'll PayPal you a refund :)

Not the next week, but it should be in OS2 which hopefully is still on schedule for February. I'm happy using Lemma (free) in the meantime, although I'm sure Blaq is a great app.

again i ask of this and any app that charges money when the real thing is FREE... WHY??
the playbook has one of the fastest browsers around; what's preventing me from simply going to the twitter website and leaving it open? it does everything that this Blaque app did/does and more...i just don't get why the need to charge for something that does less than the real thing.

Hoping for more updates and improvements like the ability to view others' profiles and have local trends too.
