I am close to finishing my first application (a UITableView style one) on the iphone but have realised it will look much better, and stand a far better chance of getting through the approval process, if it is presented as a navigation-based app rather than a view-based one – in hindsight my initial choice is not really suitable…
Is it possible for me to somehow change easily the application into a new type, or would i be better starting again from scratch with all the hassle that would entail…
thanks for any advice on how it may be done,

It wouldn’t be particularly difficult to shift the means of interaction to a navigation controller from a simple view controller (it also isn’t difficult to go the reverse direction). Although, there isn’t anything as simple as a tutorial on how to do it or menu item you can select. You could look at the plumbing generated by Apple’s template for a navigation based application and add the necessary glue to your app delegate. Once that is in place you could simply push your view based applications view controller onto the navigation stack. If you have more specific questions or are stuck somewhere in particular we can help to get you un-stuck if you provide details about where you are running into issues.
As an aside, I doubt your application will be rejected solely for being view based vs. navigation based.
