This Cocoa with Love blog post is very informative - it looks at the performance of a table view with thousands of cells.

The question is whether it has some internal hard limit - it's seemingly enough for most needs - the above post concludes:

The iPhone can handle tables with 100,000 rows — and it continues to scroll as smoothly as though it were only 100 rows.
