Swift for iPhone – Submitted to the App Store

Originally scheduled for release back in April this year, we’ve finally got word that Swift for iPhone was submitted to the AppStore on Friday 4 June. In case you’re unaware, Swift is an upcoming twitter client that promises to bring a new level of design to the rather crowded twitter client market.

Details are still a little sketchy and there is no sign of what the app icon looks like. But from the few images that the developers have shared over on their tumbler blog it looks pretty good.

Here’s the compete blog post listing some the features you can expect in the first release, as well as some hints at what future updates will bring to the table.

As the app is basically ready for submission i thought i’d make a wee blog post (blame @NateBoat) about what you can expect from Swift 1.0.

Bear in mind there are more features such as Downloadable Themes, Translation, @Gowalla, FourSquare, Venue, Archives, and @Facebook scheduled for later releases.
