Apple iPad was released on April 3, 2010 in the United States. The revolutionary tablet computer soon migrated to Japan, France, United Kingdom and Australia amongst several other countries, including of course the Twitterverse.

The iPad fever hit Twitterverse with a bang, however the search for a perfect Twitter application on iPad continues.

From TweetDeck to Twitterrific, which Twitter app best meets an iPadTwitaholic’s social media needs?

According to the Social Media Influence, Twitter is reported to have a 15 million population; including active and inactive accounts. Here’s the iPad showdown via your very own Twitterverse population.

While many Twitterers celebrated their first tweets via iPad:
