Easily customize table cell.

[pendraggon87]

So I am working on a project where the initial table view simply looks up the records in a database. Currently it just displays in the cell text the contents of the title field in the database. I want to be able to have a cell where in large text (the default) will be the title, underneath in smaller text will be a description, and to the right of it (not the accessory view, but just after the title text) an image or label that could be updated to show the number of new items in that category.

Thanks for all the help guys, its been really helpful!

Take a look at the Apple sample of Customized Tableviews.
You can add some views directly to a normal cell but if you need something more exotic or specific then you'll need to write your own class.

The Customized Views example looked helpful at first, but was extremely complicated and I found it very difficult to figure out how to imitate it for my purposes...

There's a small guide on making a UITableViewCell subclass.

Look at Apple's sample SeismicXML code. Ok, you can ignore the XML part, but it also has some really good code for a custom table cell in there.
