How do I make a pretty UITextView that expands as needed (like the one used in the SMS app)?

Question

It should:

• Expand vertically whenever new lines are added with the return key.
• Wrap long lines and expand vertically for wrapped lines as needed too.
• Have a nice pretty border just like UITextField.
• Support placeholder text just like UITextField.
• Support friendly actions like UITextField.

Take a look at Three20. They have something like this.
