Trust me. You need to read the docs until you understand why this is totally 
the wrong direction to be taking. 

Make a whole-hearted commitment to using the standard UI as much as possible. 
After all, it is a big part of why the platform is #1.  

When you properly use standard UI elements, you get a UI that users already 
understand. 

To see a major blunder in this area, check out MS's Photosynth iApp. Wonderful 
functionality crippled by a pointlessly non-standard UI. 

MS couldn't bring themselves to even use proper platform terminology -- for 
example they say the images are saved on the "device" instead of the Camera 
Roll. Result -- confused users. 

Don't try to import the esthetics and habits of an also-ran mobile platform 
into your iOS app. That is the path to failure, as well as pointless extra work!
