I just released an open source library and a sample application to make it easy for you to implement Twitter's new browserless xAuth authentication mechanism in your iPhone apps. You can download the source code or fork it from the XAuthTwitterEngine repository on Github.

Twitter started rolling out access to its new xAuth beta to developers over the weekend. As you may know, I'm a big fan of xAuth for mobile and desktop applications and as such I began implementing xAuth in Feathers right away.

It's only been a week since the release of Feathers and I just submitted the first update to Apple.

The new update has two new styles and new magic quotes substitutions for you to play with. It also brings with it the option to turn of auto-correction (including auto-capitalization and those annoying periods that get autoinserted when you enter two spaces following a character.) Auto-correction is on by default but you may want to turn it off if you do a lot of Unicode art.
