Hi Orin,
Unfortunately, the only way to program games and apps for iOS devices is to program it in Objective C with their proprietary tools and proprietary APIs. Plus since Apples license agreement for Mac OS prevent companies like VMware adding virtualization support for Mac OS to their virtual machines we end up having to buy a Mac to do it. As a result its not really a viable option for most developers as there is quite a bit of startup cost involved in acquiring the hardware and software required to write iOS applications. That's why I definitely won't be writing anything for iOS in the near future.

You know, does Apple only let you code games in Objective C? That's kind of a slap in the face to people who prefer other languages such as Python. I'm in the Mac dev program so I'd love to create a game, but I can't get my head around BGT, which means I won't be able to get my head around Objective C. I was looking at Patyon and the syntax and everything is just easier, plus I like how you can test if something works or if you are doing it right in the Python shell.
