I'm self-learning iPhone development and I see that one of the aspects of an iPhone/iPad app is the start image that gets displayed when your app is run. I'd like my start image to display some basic info about the user when the app is launched, but that info has to first be collected by the user when the app is first run. That tells me that I either need to dynamically generate the start image after the user enters their information or I need to place a label of some sort on top of my static start image in order to accomplish this. The first time the app launched and before the user enters their info, the start image can be anything or nothing at all, I'm not concerned about this.

So, my two questions are this...

1. Can you place controls, like a label, on top of the start image when your app is launched?
2. If not, what's a good approach to dynamically generating the start image after the app is launched for the first time and the user info is collected?

Thanks so much in advance for your help! I'm going to begin researching this question right now.
