Twidroid acquired by TweetUp, soon to be bundled with new Android phones as Twidroyd

Remember our old friend Twidroid? You know, the app that came out as cream of the crop in our little Android Twitter client round-up? Things are about to get interesting again -- following today's acquisition of said app, SEO firm TweetUp has renamed its latest trophy to Twidroyd to avoid upsetting a certain Mr. Lucas.
The bigger news, though, is that we're told this action-packed app will be preloaded "on millions of upcoming Android phones from five of the leading handset manufacturers." That's a pretty bold statement to make, especially considering it wasn't long ago when Twitter Inc. pushed out its own Android client, but we'll happily accept this freebie anyway.
