I've never done any real Objective-C coding, but read a bit about it when I was considering getting into iPhone development. It is my understanding that initially Objective-C came with no memory management, but has since attained garbage collection. This means that one has to decide from the start which way they want to go and pick libraries/frameworks accordingly. Searching for "object c garbage collection iphone" revealed a number of interesting resources, including this one.
I know Java has its own warts and pitfalls, but this adding-on of garbage collection to a language with already existing manual memory management in the wild left me with a sour taste in my brain.
