From http://www.idev101.com/code/Objective-C/Strings/split.html:

  NSMutableArray *characters = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:[myString length]];
  for (int i=0; i < [myString length]; i++) {
      NSString *ichar  = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%c", [myString characterAtIndex:i]];
      [characters addObject:ichar];
  }
