Answer 1

Use an animation block like so:

imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 0)];
imageView.image = ...;
[imageView setClipsToBounds:YES];
[imageView setContentMode:UIViewContentModeTop];

[self.view addSubview:imageView];
[imageView release];

[UIView animateWithDuration:4.0f
                      delay:1.0f
                    options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseIn
                 animations:^(void) {
                     imageView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480);
                 }
                 completion:NULL];
