INQ, the guys who won the Best Mobile Phone Award at the Mobile World Congress 2009 held in Barcelona, have announced that they are working toward getting our a Twitter phone this coming Christmas. Twitter, as well all know, is a popular micro blogging service that is growing be leaps and bounds. Twitter started as a status update service where you can tell your friends what you are up to but slowly got into the world of micro blogging and there is no looking back for Twitter and Twitteratis (Twitter Users). The INQ Twitter phone will be targeted toward the mass market and will be available at a price point of $140. The phone will come with an in-built Internet based Twitter client. INQ is the subsidiary of Hutchison-Whampoa and also gave us the Skype phone. Right now there are lots of Twitter applications that are available, which you can download on your mobile phone and use it for Tweeting. But with this new INQ phone coming with an in-built Twitter client, the use of Twitter using a mobile phone will increase. INQ has targeted Social networks and Internet with its phone, which the big wigs have just started doing. Like the Skype phone, the INQ Twitter phone will find many takers as Twitter is a craze these days and what better way to access Twitter than your mobile phone. [Via]

Cool. Actually, didn't know that INQ had won the award this year. I can see some people jumping for it! Personally, I am happy with accessing the twitter website on the phone itself
