I've been tempted to create a frontend web site devoted toward very simple operations in regard to using org-mode - something say in Django or something, and using sync scripts to the org files.The idea I was thinking is just a simple CRUD operation with that file (either that or use a sql database such as sqllite and use a cron job that "syncs" these together). I wouldn't mind still completing that if people are interested in such a tool. Since I have just an ipod touch, I've been reluctant to build it since I don't have access 100% of the time to the app.

Hi Christopher,
I am extremely interested in what you write here about using HTML
to look at the agenda, sending automatic emails for completed
tasks, and even the IMAP store idea.
So please get back to it when you find time and keep us
posted. I could tweak the HTML exporter where necessary
to make a good mobile access idea for Org-mode stuff
a reality.

As a more-useful alternative to my ha-ha-only-serious "email"
response, look at the export-to-HTML functions. I haven't gotten here
yet with org-mode, but I understand they're pretty powerful -- and
HTML is perfect for the iPhone. A robust HTML interface to your
org-mode would be much more useful than a native iPhone app, IMHO, and
without the landmines of interfacing with iCal et.al.
My previous organization system (Python-based) had a simple CGI
interface to parse my sources into HTML with CSS for the iPhone; it
worked surprisingly well, including hyperlinks that sent me email
noting that I'd "checked off" an item -- I didn't trust myself to
actually change state from the iPhone, but sent a "check off the item
manually" reminder.
Once I've got my Emacs-native org-mode where I want it, I plan on
tackling the iPhone display and sharing my code with the list. It
should be pretty easy to write a mod_python handler to pull org-mode
source from Git or Subversion and run that through the elisp
interpreter...
But seriously, you could totally expose your agenda view as an IMAP
store...
