Socialscope, who has had a social app for Blackberry in private beta for….a really long time, is now prepping versions for iPhone, Android, WebOS, and Windows Phone 7. Users can now sign up at their website to get invitations for the platform of their choice.

I’ve been using the Blackberry beta for a while, and it is by far the best Twitter app out there. In addition to Twitter, you can add your Facebook, Foursquare and Flickr accounts for maximum sharing. My favorite part of the app is the unified stream view. It shows you entries from all of your social feeds combined into one view. There are also unified views for replies and messages.

Along the top of the screen, a bar allows you to choose between those unified views and each individual feed. You can also add tabs for Twitter lists and Socialscope groups, which allow you to group friends across different services.

It will be interesting to see what the guys at Socialscope can bring to the table on touch based devices. They’ve created the most crucial app on my Blackberry, but the competition there is so lackluster. Ubertwitter is their best competition, and that’s just not saying much. Android has some solid apps in Seesmic and Twitter for Android, but nothing amazing. The competition on iPhone is fierce, but I love Socialscope’s flow so hopefully they can create an app as strong as the Blackberry version.

There’s no word on when invites for the new platforms will be sent out.
