I beleive that with the 3.0 update, it WOULD be possible to create a Castle Link through the iPhone.

And remember that 99% of things that work with the iPhone work with the iPod Touch, so many people without iPhones will still be in the mix. I know many people who have an iTouch even if they have a basic free phone.
You can already do about everything with the current software.... if it's jailbroken. You can get stuff that isn't approved by apple and even write your own programs if you really want to. Some people have booted linux on an ipod.
