I am just waiting for my MacBook to arrive - so at the moment just doing theory, but does Xcode have intellisense like Visual Studio?

A: 

Yes, works pretty well.

So for example if I typed NSLog([myObjectIt would immediately pop up with description amongst other class methods?
It's not the same as Visual Studio, but you can get method/property completion and suggestions, yes.

Yes. XCode does have code completion a.k.a. intellisense.

It's similar - some say not as good, but it works for me - it's called Code Sense in Xcode.

It is called Code Sense in Xcode terms.

Have a look at the Code Completion section of the Xcode documentation.

A: 

It does, and it works better than intellisense in my opinion.

I tend to do a lot of work in C++, for which intellisense is worse than useless.

Ah. I've been working with VS 2008 pro. Perhaps I should try out VC++ 2010 Express ;)
