Twitter on Friday announced the availability of their official client for the Android platform.

Available on the Android Market today, the new app was developed in cooperation with Google’s Android team and sports the strong integration features that Android users have come to expect. Twitter users can now share anything right from their favorite Android app using the share button.

Users can easily jump to their twitter timeline with the home screen widget, see the location of a tweet directly on a map, and see the latest tweets from one’s contacts right from their phonebook. The app’s code will be open sourced by Google so that other third party Twitter clients can take advantage of these new integration features.

Twitter for Android requires Android 2.1 and above. Scan the barcode below to install.
