How to Implement a Cool Alert/Information Overlay on iPhone?

Question

I understand how to include a standard alert within my iPhone application, and can dismiss it with an OK or CLOSE button (see Epicurious example in image).

How can I make a cool alert/notice overlay like the one seen in the foursquare app (see foursquare example in image)? In particular, how to include the alert/notice layout with graphic. Is this a separate view?

If you can point me to a tutorial or sample code that will get me moving in the right direction, it's much appreciated! :)

I would say that Foursquare uses a custom UIImageView, or with not this: http://github.com/matej/MBProgressHUD — balexandre, Sep 17 '10 at 19:53

Sam Vermette has a nice blog post about this http://samvermette.com/309

And this is his corresponding github project.

It's as easy as this:

[SVStatusHUD showWithImage:image status:@"Hello World!" duration:3];
