I have got several requests from users that want to see Ghost Action on the iPhone. I too would like that very much. But it will not happen as long as Apple doesn’t want it to. There is no way I can make that a viable business. That’s a pity since Ghost Action would work very well as a native iPhone application.

I think that locking out 3rd party developers from the iPhone is a really bad move by Apple. Especially when they are lying about the reasons for it. Hopefully there will be a backlash and they will have to rethink their decision.

What’s more likely than Apple opening up the iPhone, is that they will provide their own iPhone to-do list. That seems logical given that even Apple Mail in Leopard will handle to dos and that there is sophisticated support in OS X for syncing data including to-dos to handheld devices. This would be a workable solution since Ghost Action then could sync to the iPhone, but it would not be great, since Apple’s application most likely wouldn’t let you organize your todos both according to context and project as Ghost Action does.
