iPhone - Using UITableView to display table data with multiple columns

What is the best way to display some data in a table type format on the iPhone?
I have 3 columns and lots of rows.
Should I create a custom UITableViewCell with 3 'columns' in it?
How should I display the column titles?

Thanks,
Matt

You need to use UITableView.
I think, this is a very simple tutorial for a beginning:

You can add columns in the interface Builder.

Then here you will find a set of tutorials:

Hi pgnatyuk,

Yes, as my question title indicates, I'm using UITableView. But UITableView consisted of single columns only (one UITableViewCell per row).
I'm asking specifically about whether I should I go to the level of UITableViewCell to create custom details (ie multiple columns).

The links you provided are trivial tutorials for creating simple tables. I'm asking a bit more in depth than that.
