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!
I`d like to introduce the new T830 from Fujitsu Siemens, the most powerful phone on the market for running Pocket Phojo.
The HTC Hermes/TyTn is now available in the US from Cingular as the 8525, priced at $399. This is the same device as the popular HTC TyTn, which goes by various names in Europe, including Vario II, SPV M3100, and VPA 1605, and can be picked up for 50-100 quid. This phone has the fastest upload speeds currently available thanks to HSPDA support, we are talking about 25KB/s plus! It also features WiFi and Bluetooth, and a slide-out keyboard for easy caption entry. If you travel around the world, this device supports both US and European frequencies for voice and data. The only downside is that it uses MicroSD cards, which are very small. They do however come with an adapter to convert them to the SD format used by the Canon 1D Mark IIs, and SD->CF adapters can be used if your camera only takes CompactFlash cards.
