It is very important that iPhone and iPad applications use visual styles in a coherent way. This helps users learn how to use your application faster, it helps them scan your UI for important information as quickly as possible, and it also can convey a strong marketing message; companies who want iPhone or iPad applications [...]

Our first blog post of 2010 presents a tool that we’ve been using internally and that might be useful for other people. As you might have experienced, prototyping applications in Interface Builder is fine as long as you don’t deal that much with UITableViewController instances.
