How do I show a loading bezel on the iPhone?

Question

I'm building an application where it loads contents off of the web to populate a TableView.

I would like to add some sort of loading indicator so that the screen won't just contain the blank table.

I was thinking about something like this:

I've been trying to look it up on documentation and Google, but to be honest don't know what to search for. Any pointers? Or is there any other way I should do this?

Two possible ways to do it:

1. The lazy way: Create a transparent PNG image containing the bezel and the loading... text. Display it on the screen and put a UIProgressView on top of it.
2. The better way: Use http://github.com/jdg/MBProgressHUD
