That actually is a valid concern; since you're on the iPhone, memory constraints are tight, and your view may actually be unloaded at some point. Instead of doing additional initialization in awakeFromNib, (which has no counterpart), I'd recommend doing your additional setup in viewDidLoad: on the associated UIViewController. Then, in viewDidUnload: you can release anything you instantiated in viewDidLoad:. Note that viewDidUnload is only available in iPhone OS 3.0 and later.
