blocks便利ですね。
Twitterのように、UITableViewCellにアイコンを出すときはこれで楽できないかな。
UIImageView *photo = (UIImageView *)[cell viewWithTag:3];
NSString *photoUrl = @"http://xxxxxxxx";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:photoUrl];
NSMutableURLRequest *req = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
NSOperationQueue *queue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc] init];
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:req
queue:queue
completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error) {
[photo performSelectorInBackground:@selector(setImage:)
withObject:[UIImage imageWithData:data]];
}];
