This just happened for me today. The twitter mobile site has updated to a much more attractive and user friendly format. I had heard that the iPad version was recently updated to HTML5? Perhaps the Playbook was just updated as well.

The previous version of the site was very basic. It featured a single column only view that did not take advantage of the widescreen format of the PB. I had tried using the 'desktop' version but found it sluggish and difficult to navigate.

The new mobile version however, runs great. its got a two column format and is very quick and responsive.

I'll try to attach a screenshot to this post but cant guarantee if it works!

Thanks for the information. I also tried the desktop version but took forever to allow for replies, and had to constantly change from landscape mode in order to access the menu.

for some reason that doesnt come up for me?

I'm not getting that either.

try going to mobile.twitter.com instead of using the shortcut.

[FMB8900]

thats what I did. I dont even have the shortcut anymore, I just tried mobile.twitter.com on the PlayBook and it just goes to the regular mobile site, not the HTML 5 one...

Hey everyone,

Try this (on your PlayBook):

- Go to the 'desktop' version of Twitter (twitter.com)
- Sign out of the desktop version and go to the home page
- Click on 'mobile' link near the bottom of the page
- Click on the link that says visit m.twitter.com on your mobile device

It was from this moment on that the new website started working for me.
