So is it safe to approach threads like they were timers? You start a thread, and it calls back to it's selector method when it's complete (detachNewThreadSelector:toTarget:withObject)?

I would conclude my thread with a line like:

[myCell performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(setImage:) withObject:myImage waitUntilDone:YES];

That should set your cell's image to the image you just downloaded.


Now - what if a thread completes and the cell is currently out of view (it was scrolled) - do the internals take care of that, or could it cause an error?

I wouldn't worry about setting cells to images that are out of view. An implementation that waits for cells to come back into view would be tedious and probably unnecessary.
