iOS - picking from a scrolling list

[Graham Samuel]

Chris, thanks. I have had a look at this (I did not know about it at all) but it isn't really what I had in mind. I want a long list like a set of names in a notebook, so the style I'm looking for is much more like Apple's Contacts app, which does present such a list and allows one to pick from it, rather than a wheel where one sees very few names at any one time, and it is quite hard to whizz from one end of say a 100-item list to another. I'm pleased to say that I've had a reply from MobGUI and I'll see what that looks like and report back.
