I am about to build an iPhone screen where I need to display formatted text, a link that will kick off a browser, and an email address link that will kick off the mail client.
Which widget do I use for that?

I do the very thing you are looking to do in my app with a
UIWebView. I’m not sure what kind of rich text format you were planning on using, butUIWebViewtakes HTML. There are a couple delegates you’ll need to cover for the view to launch URLs in Safari Mobile (otherwise they’ll appear directly in yourUIWebView, which might not be what you want.) Email links should launch the iPhone’s Mail app.
