Looks like the guys are Wired.com have found the answer – Twitter will make money through sales of it’s own branded portable Twitter gadget aptly named the Twitter Wingman.

Some of the features of the Twitter Wingman will include:

  • A $30 – 40 price tag with a two-year contract on Boost Mobile
  • 5-megapixel camera with xenon flash and Carl Zeiss lens
  • Integrated GPS with real time maps that allow you to locate other Wingmen in the area.
  • Bluetooth data transfers between Wingmen.
  • Dedicated hot keys for sending direct tweets, picking up new followers, and retweeting.
  • Aggregation for sorting twitters from celebs, direct messaging friends, plus dedicated news and gossip tweet feeds.
  • Some of the biggest twitterati like Shaquille O’Neil, John Mayer, and Ashton Kutcher are already beta testing this device.

Release date will be around June this year.

I wonder what the plans are for release overseas…
