Hi.
I have a basic question regarding Class methods and instance methods
and memory allocation. (this is in iPhone OS 3.0 beta 5)

1.- What is the difference between string1 and string2? where
NSString *string1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"myFirstString"];
NSString *string2 = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"mySecondString"];

I thought that string1's memory allocation and release would be done
by the system (autoreleased) and string2's memory and release should
be done by me (by [string2 release])
Am i mistaking?

A funny thing is when doing:
NSLog(@"retainCount %i %i", [string1 retainCoung], [string2 retainCount]);
I got :
"retainCount  2147483647 2147483647"

So It seems that both objects are autorelease objects... Why is that?
 I thougth that string2 retainCount would be 1.

2.- How can I get two simple NSString instances with a retainCount equal to 1

Any response would be very appreciated.
Regards

Ignacio
