Smooth transition from launch image to main view

Question

Is it possible to implement a smooth transition when the app loads, from the launch image to the first view?

The default behavior is on/off, with an immediate change

We often use something called "splashView" to do this. It was written by Shannon Applecline and available under the CC license. You will have to do some Googling to find it.
