How could I block "Twitter’s Promoted Tweets"? I use the official iOS client. I also use the official OS X client, but so far didn't notice on OS X "Promoted Tweets".

Is the solution to switch to other iOS client? Which one without ads?

Twitter has to make money somehow. How you you expect them to keep the servers running? You can't run Twitter on rainbows and sunshine. Small price to pay for a great service. – Kibbee Oct 6 '12 at 17:25
Or, you can pay a slightly higher price for an even better (and ad-free) service. :D – Dan J Oct 10 '12 at 15:16

Twitter is injecting the promoted tweets into the stream. It's only a matter of time until they lean on every third-party app provider to stop filtering out the promoted tweets as this is how they're going to pay for the service.

In the short-term you can use a different client but in the long term all signs point to you being forced to see promoted tweets promoted tweets or leave Twitter.
