Servoy is quite usable on the iPhone (as a web app). The iPhone does not yet support Java so you can not run the Servoy client. We have a HEAVY web 2.0 application using a lot of client side scripting and CSS and it displays perfectly on the iPhone, so you don't need to worry much about special programming gotchas. Due to the display size, the only thing to consider is if your soution will be primarily used on the iPhone. If so, you may want to take this into consideration. Even though you CAN zoom in, a large screen format solution can become arguous to navigate after a while.

hey, not only iPhones of course but any phone that has a browser... works great on my Cingular 8125 (Windows Mobile 5) not that I would not rather have an iPhone, much sexier. note to servoy: The URL is really long to type out (or write with a stylus) on a pda ... how 'bout a nice quick url like demo.servoy.com/crm that redirects?
