I Need to simulate a grid on a view controller

I have the need to make a grid (see image). I am trying to do it without purchasing a 3rd party component. I also looked at using a webview with a table, but its to difficult with the interation that I need (cell click, on demand images). My current stab at it is using a UITableView with labels in a custom cell controller. But the labels have gaps between them and nothing resizes on rotation. Any ideas on how best to approach this? Thanks!
