Twitter is previewing a new beta version of its mobile web site , designed to offer greater functionality and appear more like the real Twitter. The new Mobile Twitter client will work best on the open-source WebKit browsers, such as those on Android, iPhone, Nokia S60 and Palm WebOS phones, according to Twitter.

“It’s got a great new look, and has some great new touches that will make your mobile experience of Twitter a bit more fun and a lot more helpful,” said Twitter in a blog post. The news follows recent findings from internet mobility company Novarra, which revealed that micro-blogging is a key driver of mobile internet use.
