I am currently working on the iOS serial library with Mark Waddingham from 
RunRev which will work with the Arduino and I am thinking should work with any 
device that uses serial commands. I use mergExt's mergAccessory external to 
register the RedPark iOS to Serial TTL cable and then use the iOS serial 
library to communicate with the device. I also believe that if using wifi the 
only thing needed should be the iOS serial library (and an ethernet shield or 
wifi shield). 

I have not looked at the communications with Phidgets yet but I assume they 
must know serial communications? Someone has a stack that is supposed to 
communicate with them already. If it uses desktop serial commands then our iOS 
serial library should work with them as well.
