Welcome to the list and the platform, JD. The purpose of the cell reuse queue is so that we don't have to keep creating new cell objects as we scroll a table. We take advantage of the fact that as new cells are appearing, old cells are disappearing. Rather than throw the old cells away and creat

Hi there! I am planning to implement a component similar to the iphone's photo album.. I guess that using uviews will make the component to have a bad performace , I mean scrolling slow and all of the stuff ... so which way should I take? Is CALayer better than UIViews in terms of performance?

During the recent text orientation/position thread a couple of things caught my attention: (1) the text system seemed designed to have a flipped view (origin in the upper left), and (2) the iOS version of an NSView, the UIView, also has an origin in the upper left. If starting some new graphica

Nope. The MFi-compliant device must first establish a Bluetooth RFCOMM connection to the phone (which means it needs to be paired). Then the MFi authorization happens over that RFCOMM channel, and once that's complete, only then does the device show up in the External Accessory framework. -- R
