Apple’s $0.99 application [App Store link] for the iPhone/iPod touch runs iLife ’09 Keynote presentations via a Wi-Fi connection. The real reason people will buy this: To look like a badass running a slideshow from their iPhones.

Phil Schiller, while delivering this week’s Macworld keynote address

“…Each and every week now, 3.4 million customers visit an Apple Store around the world. That’s 100 Macworlds each and every week going on around the world in our Apple Stores.”

Phil doesn’t wear a black shirt and blue jeans, but he’s got Steve Jobs’ penchant for the subtle jab. As I said on TUAW, Apple is at the point where they don’t need an event like Macworld Expo to get their products in front of consumers’ eyes. That’s the real reason they’ve abandoned the show.

DestroyTwitter is an Air-based Twitter app that I’ve quickly fallen in love with. Its tiny window* hides a slew of features. You can move between your live Twitter feed, replies, saved favorites and messages received and sent.

You can sort tweets by age, change your bio info, and even keep track of how many API calls you’ve made, which helps you avoid the time out issue. Finally, tweet away with the built-in URL shortener. I’m lovin’ it.

*My one wish is to be able to make the window taller. The devs note that re-tweeting is coming soon.
