RIM Working On An Official BlackBerry Twitter Client?

It seems like everyone wants to throw their hat into the Twitter application ring these days. We’ve seen SocialScope, UberTwitter, TwitterBerry and a few others, and now RIM is rumored to be working on an official BlackBerry client!

According to CrackBerry Kevin, RIM has been working on a Twitter client codenamed Project Banshee.

It’ll be a BIS-B Push based handheld client leveraging RIM’s past app experiences and making use of the new components being developed within MySpace projects. It will feature core BlackBerry application integration, and be tied in to the address book, browser and device setup wizard. You can expect the user interface to be along the same lines as other RIM-built social networking apps and offer a similar experience. As for features, it’ll have everything you’d expect a twitter app these days to have, including trending topics.

With RIM possibly releasing their own BlackBerry Twitter client, this could be a concern for current Twitter app devs that have been working hard to make sure their own apps are the best.

Knowing this, how many of you would switch from your current Twitter app to the official BlackBerry app? Let me know what you think in the comments!
