OpenGL vs Quartz

[Apolo]

Hello guys,
I've been trying to render an image received from a BSD socket. What i
have is a byte[] with the RGB componentes. At first i thought about
using Quartz, I created a context, but once created i didn't know how
to use the byte[] where the info was. It's been a while since i
started to think about changing to OpenGL but something tells me that
it's too complicated for a simple thing like convert a byte[] to an
image.I ask for your advice if it's posible.

Thanks.

You can look at the tutorials (there are great ones out there) and
then decide if OpenGL is too complicated:

For Quartz/Core Animation, have a look at these screencasts (they're
for Mac OS X development and not iPhone but are applicable):
