How would I go about implementing a table view that looks and works something as illustrated in the link below, with UIKit for the iPhone? http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/4177/uifisheyeview.png

I was thinking of using UITableView, and was looking a bit at the UITableViewDelegate methods

tableView:willDisplayCell:forRowAtIndexPath:
tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath:

But it seems as the UITableView will modify the cell frames after these methods are called and just before the cells are drawn?

Maybe skipping the UITableView and go straight for some subclassing of a UIScrollView would be a better approach?

So my question is basically that I would just like some overall thought in what might be the best ways to use existing UIKit components to implement this type of table view.
