I've been working with Carsten on a free iPhone app for Org. We are
still working out some of the details, but so far we have it running
on the phone in a fairly usable state. It needs some polish, but it
is very nice to see my Org data easily accessible on a mobile device
with offline access. To be clear, we aren't trying to run Emacs on
the device. The goal is to view Org files and agendas as well as
capture new notes.
Here is a teaser video of the app running in the simulator:

Once we feel the basics are worked out, we will solicit a request
for beta testers and feedback, but for now you'll have to be
satisfied with the demo video :)
Wow indeed. Some things immediately came up when viewing the movie; I
hope you don't mind me posting them so soon.
I imagine the app does not require a live connection to the server. In
order to work offline, I think that the app must
- clearly show the time of downloading each document,
- be able to capture and store multiple notes when offline and forward
them when online. A way of reviewing the stored notes, possibly edit
or remove them would be a bonus.
I could imagine that captured but not yet forwarded notes appear in
the 'capture.org' document entry (on the App), marked as not-forwarded
and being editable and removable. After syncing, these notes become
part of the real capture.org document and thus read-only, just like
the rest.
Oh well, you probably thought of all that, so I'll just shut up now...
Cheers,
Peter.
