Here is a relatively simple implementation:

In your tableViewController implement the cellForRow with something like this:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"DefaultCell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
    }

    // check if row is odd or even and set color accordingly
    if (indexPath.row % 2) {
        cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    }else {
        cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
    }

    return cell;
}
