Hi,
Interesting point, I've been thinking about that as well. The problem is that I think it's confusing for the user. In the wifi settings pane, the user either selects the row or goes to a detail view. In my case the user goes to a tableview when he selects the row, but the disclosure button will give a (modal) detail view, so the responses are quite the same. Wouldn't that confuse them?
Regards,
Remco Poelstra

UITableView very much supports this motif (tap the cell contents for one set of details, tap the accessory for another) and users will be familiar with the paradigm (e.g. in WiFi settings).

In order to let the user change these settings I've added a "settings" button to my UIToolbar. When the user taps the button I want to show a button for each row which allows the user to enter the configuration view. Much like the "Delete" button in the e-mail app.
