I don't know if it's "old news" or not, but Apple has announced
they will "release a software development kit in February to allow
third-party companies to create new programs for the iPhone,
which so far runs only Apple software."

Time will tell if the iPhone SDK proves useful to APRS. Of course, they 
can't call it an iPhone in Canada (and thus haven't released it here yet) 
until the little matter of the trademark held by someone else is worked out!
