I can't speak for Android, but I know one of the constraints on the iPhone is memory. This, as I recall, is part of the reason why they don't have garbage collection available and force people to manage memory directly (this, I might add, is a pain). Since I generally don't worry about memory, I've no idea if Parrot is a memory hog. That being said, I can't imagine Apple would be terribly keen to endorse anything which requires jail breaking the phone. Don't we have contacts in Apple? Getting official approval for trying this out might be a nice thing. In fact, I already know an iPhone developer who would be a great fit for a challenge like this (if he's interested).
