title: iPhone SDK: Dealloc vs. Release?
body: <p>I am wondering what the difference is between release and dealloc? After reading, the memory management rules (See below)., I am thinking most of the time I will be using release.  However, I wanted to know what to do for properties. </p>
  
  <p>@property(retain)....</p>
  
  <p>I have been using dealloc but after reading this article I am not sure that is correct.</p>
  
  <p>You take ownership of an object if you create it using a method whose name begins with “alloc” or “new” or contains “copy” (for example, alloc, newObject, or mutableCopy), or if you send it a retain message. You are responsible for relinquishing ownership of objects you own using release or autorelease. Any other time you receive an object, you must not release it.</p>
