Thanks Kyle and Alexander. I am indeed targeting iPhone OS in this particular example, though I didn't think that was particularly relevant. Would your answer change if I wasn't (other than discussing the simulator's limitations, obviously)? Looks like I'll get into the habit of giving iVars a prefix or using synthesis where possible.
