TwitterFon, TwitterFox Are Now Echofon

Naan Studio took the Twitter out of iPhone apps TwitterFon and TwitterFox, announcing that both products would change their name to Echofon, TechCrunch reported.

The company said it wanted to change the name of both products and unify them, but TechCrunch believes it eliminated Twitter from the name due to the social-networking site’s push to protect its trademark.

TwitterFon and TwitterFox have each been downloaded more than 1 million times and each has more than 200,000 daily users, according to TechCrunch.

From the company’s blog:

As Echofon, these applications will talk to one another, unread tweets stay in sync between the applications.
