The first one actually returns a Double, not a double.  It's equivalent to:

   double temp = Double.parseDouble( string );
   Double retVal = new Double( temp );

Since you then assign it to a double, you must then extract the double 
value again:

   double d1 = retVal.doubleValue();

That's three statements in place of one.  I'd prefer the second here.
