I would really love for Phojo to be able to run on the iPhone. The OS is definitely up to Phojo’s specs, but the hardware is missing some crucial features. Like a card slot 
In fact, compared to state of the art Pocket PC Phones, the tech specs for the iPhone are actually a little disappointing. The 320×480 phone is half the resolution of the screen used by the HTC Universal, and VGA Pocket PCs like the Axim. The EDGE radio is a full 2 generations behind the state of the art. Cingular’s fastest network speed requires HSDPA support, as seen on the Cingular 8525 mentioned below, which provides 25KB/s+ upload speeds - far in excess of anything EDGE can deliver. But, the iPhone is sex on a stick, and sure to sell by the 10s of millions.
So, apart from it not having a card slot, any other problems? Will the iPhone actually allow 3rd party applications to be installed? I didn’t see this confirmed anywhere. It would be disappointing if they lock it down, but not without precedent.
UPDATE:
David Pogue has posted a list of FAQs, and I`m afraid the answer would appear to be no, Apple will not be allowing 3rd party apps to run on the iphone.

Move along, nothing to see here.. Check out the T830 and 8525 reviews, both kick the iphone all over the playground for Phojo use, and are shipping now!

Someone just asked in am email “is this the end of Pocket PCs?”
Quite the opposite, I`m hoping the iPhone will motive Microsoft and HTC to do some real innovation too. The pace has definitely slowed since the heady days of the first iPAQ. Microsoft has had personal media players and Zunes and Pocket PCs and SmartPhones, but never managed to glue it all together, this should really kick off some innovation in the market. Pocket PC Phones are assured of a continued existence due to corporate sales. Imagine trying to get the pointy haired boss to issue non Microsoft “toys” that employees can use to spend all day watching TV and listening to music
In my opinion the power behind the iPhone is it’s OSX operating system and patented interface. This little thing will be fast, very fast and verything can be updated by system updates.
The iPhone weaknesses are, Cingular’s monopoly of the iPhone and the iPod copy protection forced by the music and film industry. This might affect if the iPhone will allow 3rd party applications to be installed?
Even if Cingular’s monopoly of the iPhone hurts it at first, the iPhone might be a preview of the next generation Mac computers. The OSX in the iPhone is such great software it will be very hard for anyone to create an operating system and patented interface that good in a mini device. I really believe Apple just reinveted how the computer will be used and it will take two years until they can break free from Cingular’s Apple monopoly. I say PPC’s have two more years until everyone will buy a iPhone type devices.
The sad part is that Microsoft had all this technology years ago and spent all their time trying to make a zune to compete with iPod and Vista to compete with OSX last year. I just don’t imagine Microsoft doing anything better then trying to make an iPhone copy and by the time they have that, Apple will have something revolutionary. The power in the iPhone is the operating system and the competitor Microsoft track record recently does not look good.
So glad to see the advancement of the Phojo. The word that best describes Phojo is “Wow.” I for one who will be buying an 8 gig iPhone would like to see Phojo apart of it. It would be a great fit. Here are several considerations to think about and to play devils advocate from these other posts have said.
1) No where is it said that Apple won’t allow 3rd party apps and I have read stories that they will encourage it as with the MAC. MAC already has a problem with not having the software selections that Windows has.
2) With the advent of the iPhone being able to access ever increasing thousands of WiFi spots around the nation and world then the speed of the Edge Network may not be a factor. Possibly and likely the iPhone could and would spur more businesses to offer WiFi to attract the millions expected to purchase the iPhone.
3) There is a perception that the MAC OS is better suited to pictures and graphics then Windows which is the best reason the iPhone would make a great fit with the Phojo.
4) How difficult would it be to come up with a multi card reader that attaches via cable or bluetooth that would permit the amateur photographer and professional to access Phojo on an iPhone? Imagine that in one device you can have all your ftp access, e-mail, contacts, addresses, web access, Phojo and phone.
5) Lastly is that millions of people who shoot pictures will one day seamlessly shoot and e-mail their pictures for sharing to printing. I would love to see the Phojo be apart of the future.
Sincerely,

If an ad hoc wifi can be set-up in the iPhone then images can be uploaded to the iPhone using a wirless adaptor for the Canon and Nikon cameras, images can then be sent out of the slow EDGE network!
Have you approached Apple about developing for the iPhone? What has been their response to you?
Leaving aside for a moment the question of why you would want to upload on the slow EDGE network when you could be using the fast HSDPA network (1-8KB/s vs 25-40KB/s), can you actually set up the iPhone to create an ad-hoc WiFi network? If you can then there might be something I can do with it.
I just heard today that the USB Host support on the Toshiba G900 works, so methinks that will become my new recommendation for Europe (wrong HSDPA frequency for the US, only supports EDGE in the US. Although, maybe that isn’t as big a problem as I thought?).
Hi!
“is this the end of Pocket PCs?” … hmmm … afcourse no, it isn’t… for houndreds of reasons.
Kredyty: I disagree ;]

…slow EDGE network… I’m glad for that speed
Better then GPRS 
I read last week the iPhone will get to 3G end of this year…
