Are there any open source, CoverFlow-like APIs or libraries available for the iPhone?

I've found one implementation that is licensed per application, however, I'd much prefer to go the open source route.

Also, I'm interested in libraries that use only public APIs, as using non-public APIs might keep an app from getting published in the App Store.

You might also want to check out a library I released at iPhoneDevCamp -- OpenFlow. http://apparentlogic.com/openflow

It is all core animation-based, so it's easy to understand and customize to your needs. AFOpenFlowView is a subclass of UIView.

I included a demo application, and check out the blog entry on my personal website for a bit more information about its use. fajkowski.com
