Here we go again: as if Pocket Tweets, Hahlo and Twitter's own m.twitter.com clients aren't enough, iTweet offers yet another option for quenching your Twitter lust. With a fairly different UI, iTweet's claim to fame is the ability to only download new tweets each time you refresh, saving a lot of time and bandwidth - especially useful for those tweeting over EDGE. It also has other features that I dare say are becoming a standard of mobile Twitter clients: the ability to view @replies to your tweets, direct messages and more.In brief testing I did notice iTweet seems to run a bit faster than others, especially over EDGE, though Pocket Tweets still earns my usage and donation (scroll down for the Donate button) due to its top notch styling, ability to mark tweets as favorites and that all-too-increasingly-useful @ button for replying to someone's tweet.
Still, it's good to have options, and anyone obsessed with speed will likely enjoy the iTweet experience. For now, it appears iTweet is provided for free, as I can't find any kind of a donation button, so enjoy!

One look at this app's interface and one can see why Apple is reluctant to open up the iPhone to 3rd party apps.

The UI is a bit over the top but the functional design has some great ideas, especially, as David notes, for EDGE Twittering. An @ button would be a welcome addition.
