Jume,

We were able to get working. Here is what we did:

First in the interface (this is only partial b/c of company policies i can't show you everything):

@interface YourViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource>
{
	UITableView	*myTableView;
	CGAffineTransform _originalTransform;
	CGRect _originalBounds;
	CGPoint _originalCenter;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) UITableView *myTableView;

@end

Next here is the implementation:

@implementation YourViewController

@synthesize myTableView;

- (void)loadView {
	
	UIView *viewContainer = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]];

	CGRect tableFrame;
	tableFrame.origin.x += 10;
	tableFrame.origin.y -= 15;
	tableFrame.size.height = 320;
	tableFrame.size.width = 460;
	
	// create and configure the table view
	myTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:tableFrame style:UITableViewStylePlain];
	
	myTableView.delegate = self;
	myTableView.dataSource = self;
	myTableView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
	myTableView.scrollEnabled = YES;	
	myTableView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;

	
	[viewContainer addSubview:myTableView];
	self.view = viewContainer;	
}

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
	
	AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
	
	_originalTransform = [[appDelegate navController].view transform];
	_originalBounds = [[appDelegate navController].view bounds];
	_originalCenter = [[appDelegate navController].view center];
	
	CGAffineTransform landscapeTransform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(degreesToRadian(90));
	landscapeTransform = CGAffineTransformTranslate (landscapeTransform, +80.0, +100.0);
	
	[[appDelegate navController].view setTransform:landscapeTransform];
	
	[appDelegate navController].view.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
	[appDelegate navController].view.bounds  = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 480.0, 320.0);
	[appDelegate navController].view.center  = CGPointMake (240.0, 160.0);
	
	[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation = UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
}

- (void) viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
	
	AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
	[[appDelegate navController].view setTransform:_originalTransform];
	[[appDelegate navController].view setBounds:_originalBounds];
	[[appDelegate navController].view setCenter:_originalCenter];
	
	[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation = UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait; 
}

As you can see we are manually transforming the views and restoring the correct views. There is one problem interface bug when you leave this view, but nothing major.
