I'm overriding the -hitTest: method in a custom UIWebView subclass. The UIEvent that gets passed to this method always has an empty set of touches ( [[event allTouches] count] is == 0 ). Shouldn't there be touch information in the UIEvent object or is this a bug? I've tried other UIVIew types (e.g. UIView, UIWindow) and see the same beh...

I'm looking to have two views which are part of a constituent set. Data in each view would be best represented in a UITableView.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a site that potentially has some inspirational user interfaces for building my own iPhone Apps. It's straight forward to continually build out applications with the conventional UIKit widgets, but it does not set you apart from the competition.

If I'm looking to use Core Animation to fade a view in and out of display -- is it good practice to have the UIView in the same NIB as the view that it is being drawn into?
