Although, this might be the way to find a good developer-offer to pay for their license!
Now, I had that same idea. Great minds think alike!

Bawolff is right, developing a MobileSafari application would be free-er (and allow other WebKit-based devices ::cough:: Andriod ::cough:: to also get it nicely), but iPhone users like their native applications.
Being native would also allow photo/video uploads and location-aware support, something that we can't do in MobileSafari.

I've been thinking, that it would be awesome if we could get an iPhone application. It could bring literally thousands of new readers and hundreds of new contributors. I would imagine something like the Sky News app, except maybe with audio instead of video and a proper, fully fledged section for people to send in their stories. We could get people around the world contributing from their mobiles, with pictures(and videos!) where they are. I've attached a screenshot of the Sky News app for those interested.
Is anyone on Wikinews capable of programming an iPhone app or knows someone who is. Alternatively, might we be able to find someone on Wikipedia etc. who would be willing to do it, if only to add to their "cv"?
Thoughts?
