TweetDeck, which initially plied its trade as a cross-platform Twitter app running on Adobe AIR, has grown in popularity since freeing itself from Adobe's debated platform, and today, the application for OS X, Windows, and Google's Chrome browser has received a very significant update.
Even though the iPhone 4S only arrived some five months ago, the talk of its successor has been as rampant as if it were releasing at the end of the week.
We're currently at that helpless stage with regards to the next Xbox release, whereby rumors and speculation are continually being recycled, and with little official word offered by Microsoft, we're forced to try and dredge some truth from the many conflicting rumors.
