Twitter retiring TweetDeck for Android, iPhone & TweetDeck Air

After not increasing the token limit for Falcon Pro, Twitter today announced (via the acquired TweetDeck) that TweetDeck for Android, iPhone & TweetDeck Air would be retired in early May 2013.

They would instead be focusing on web based versions of TweetDeck, which to me is a strange approach considering the fact that more and more people are moving over to smartphone & tablets. Personally, I think Twitter is going backwards with this decision, people are moving away from desktops & laptops and Twitter is moving towards them. Strange, isn't it?
