If you just want an image and a label set your tableview cell's style to UITableViewCellStyleDefault add your image to the cell's image view.

Answer 2

Your best course of action is to create your own custom UITableViewCell and specifically design it to include an image and a text label. Anything beyond that means you're going to have to start subclassing UITableView which isn't for the faint of heart. Another option is to look into a 3rd party library such as AQGridView.

Answer 3

There's no such thing as a column in UITableViews. There's one of 2 routes that come to mind right off the bat.

1) Use 2 UITableViews that are side-by-side and sync'ed with one another whenever one moves (this may look a little weird)

2) Stuff the label and the image into the same cell of the UITableView.

What's your choice?
