How to get Twitter on your desktop and mobile

I’m preparing for my Twitter for Business, eMarketeers course on Wednesday (11 December 2009) and have put together a list of desktop and mobile applications – below. If you have any additions, experiences or recommendations I’d love to hear, as not all uses, phones or desktops are the same.
