How do I create GameObject & add GUIText from script for iOS?

I'm trying to add a GUIText component via code only but it fails to show up on screen.

My Platform is set to iOS in Build Settings. I have a super basic empty Scene with a Camera. The Camera has a very simple script attached to it. I'm using Unity 3.5 iOS Pro trial. A font called "HelveticaNeueLTStd-Md" is inside a Fonts folder in my Project panel. The font is set to "ASCII default set" in the Inspector. Other scripts in the project are using this font in a GUIskin (which exists in the Project panel).

The Awake() function for my problem script has this:

 //load font from the Project view in the Unity IDE
 var font1:Font = Resources.Load('Fonts/HelveticaNeueLTStd-Md');

 var go1:GameObject = new GameObject('GUITextObj1'); 
 go1.AddComponent('GUIText');
 go1.guiText.font = font1;
 go1.guiText.transform.position = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
 go1.guiText.material.color = Color.white;    
 go1.guiText.text = 'Some temp text for now'; 

 Debug.Log("go1.guiText.text = " + go1.guiText.text);
 Debug.Log("go1.guiText.transform.position = " + go1.guiText.transform.position);     

There are no physical copies of "go1" anywhere else, since I'm just trying to create it via code.

When I hit the Play button GUITextObj1 shows up in the Hierarchy panel, the Console shows the Log values.

However, the text is not showing up on screen in the Game panel.

Does anyone have any idea of what I'm doing wrong?
