You can make them compatible, and we've shipped some projects that used Objective-C++ very successfully to mix C++ and Objective-C code (the C++ being a cross-platform core base, and Objective-C with Cocoa for a native GUI).
This topic has been beaten to death on various other forums and Wikis, so I hardly want to extend the discussion here. For Kelvin's benefit, there are implementations of C++ smart pointers for Objective-C objects, e.g. see

CocoaSTL also includes iterators for Objective-C containers, so that you can use STL algorithms on them. FWIW, I don't think it's worth it to try to bridge the two languages unless you have a lot of code in C++ that you want to make available in a Mac/iPhone-native app, and then you should have a very limited number of Objective-C++ files around. Trying to write code to awesomely mix and match the best of both worlds is always fun, but the engineering gains are typically limited.
