The rumor says it is so far, but we don’t know for sure.  Mauricio over at BlackBerryRocks was sent this image letting him know that it is official.  By the look of the app, it looks very Twitter branded to me, and not so much RIM.

Rumored Features:

• Notification of number of new tweets on the home screen with icon, like text messages
• Main app opens friends timeline
• Ability to view followers
• Follow/unfollow functions
• Create direct messages, replies and new tweets
• Keyword search and saved results
• Tweet photos directly from camera or memory card
• View photos from other tweets
• View trending topics
• Address book integration

According to rumors, we’re expecting to see the official Twitter client by RIM release sometime in February.  The application was allegedly brought up in a BlackBerry Bold 9700 event in Mexico for Telcel.  Time will tell, and since February is not far away now, we can sit patiently to wait until then.
