Yeah, that's really an awesome device, just saw the keynote. :) While I don't have an iPhone or iPod Touch I think this will be a gadget I eventually buy.
As Nic noted iPhone OS based applications run fine however it does offer much more options in terms of user interface, usability, display, possibly speed and any PocketSword/MacSword derived application could benefit from an optimised user interface. I've seen in the videos that many popup auxiliary/tool windows have an iPhone look&feel so I think some things could be reused from PocketSword. We also finally have to consolidate the Objective-C++ SWORD wrapper classes to have a single code base that is shared between the two or three applications.
