Hi Art. I'm not interested in starting a platform war here, but if you are keen to develop apps, particularly with custom hardware, you might find Android less painful as the platform is pretty much completely open. I programmed a PIC to measure temperature with a DS18B20, send serial data to a VERY cheap RS232 Bluetooth adapter, receive and display on my phone with an app I wrote... all in just a couple hours, and everything done in Basic. The iPhone is cool and was the first in the space, but there is little to distinguish the platforms today, other than openness (and cost). You might want to have a look at least, and come to your own conclusion.
