I have the developer kit, I'd be willing to submit the resulting app
for free distro. That's at least one less barrier.

there are a couple of other problems that I see with dt on the iPhone:
- platform: google may be much more interested in seeing apps for the
G-phone than they are for the rival (but then, a g-phone version may
be much easier to do, and not worth a gsoc)
- barrier to entry: the student should have an iPhone (the simulator
is only somewhat sufficient).
- barrier to entry: the iPhone development kit costs $99 (that's not
the SDK, which is free) and puts you through a few too many hoops just
to order a development token for your phone, then much more stuff to
put it into the AppStore. it's not pretty.
i don't want to turn anyone off from the idea: if anyone thinks it's
worth it go for it.
