Answer 1

There is a delegate method of UITableView for custom view of Header

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section 
{
     UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,40)];

     UILabel *objLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWiThFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,40)];
     objLabel.text = @"Post";
     [headerView addSubview:objLabel];   //Similarly You can Add any UI Component on header
     [objLabel release];

     return [headerView autorelease];
}

If you want to show the Company, Current, prev next as text in section title, then just append the text in a single string and return this value in the following delegate method.

(NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section;

Hope this helps.

you can implement - (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section and you can return what ever view you wanted for each header
