I meant generally that the "Introduction to Memory Management Programming Guide for Cocoa" doc in the dev center seems to be better and confirm what you thought.

So far all the comments I see say that you can't enable that on the iPhone. Perhaps the 3.0 release will address it.

It sounds very Objective-C 1.0, and things have changed to include memory pools and gc and the like. It's not imho too hard to be DIY, but refactoring requires interfaces and planning rather than CandP. For data connection == flaky, you have to put a lot of retry logic and timeout checks into your networking stuff that people don't bother with for the most part when doing webdev -- using the phone networks gives you a lot more of the networking feel of the internet in the mid-90s rather than the instantaneous load times and server->server connections over lans today.
