From <http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/DOCUMENTATION/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/UEBestPractices/UEBestPractices.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006556-CH20-SW25>:
Display a launch image that closely resembles the first screen of the application. This practice decreases the perceived launch time of your application.
Avoid displaying an About window or a splash screen. In general, try to avoid providing any type of startup experience that prevents people from using your application immediately.
Also, the user doesn't click on the app's icon, they tap on it (see the section entitled "Apps Respond to Gestures, Not Clicks")
