Yes, I've done it. I've created an iPhone/iPod version of this blog.
Really, I did this just for interest to understand how different you have to code pages to be Safari compliant (that's the web browser on all things Apple).
The reality of coding a web-page to take full advantage of the iPhone platform is a bit tricky. Especially hampered by lack of Javascript debugger in the Windows version of Safari. I got inspired by looking at -

(best viewed under Safari)
Anyway, here's what you need to get going.
Firstly you need a copy of Safari which at least gives you a sporting chance of seeing what your eventual web pages will look like on an iPhone/iPod -
http://www.apple.com/safari/
Next I used the iPhone developers guide to work out how to code up the web-pages -

The next step was to go and get some ideas, for how my site should look

Almost there... So, next step was to build my site. Basically I took the mobile version of my blog that's at -
http://www.binaryrefinery.com/mobile
I came up with -
http://www.binaryrefinery.com/i
Now if your using Internet explorer to view the above you'll be disappointed. However on Safari, it looks great and kind of (if I dare say so myself) polished.
Please view source on my pages to nick all that I've done.
And finally... I modified my auto redirect page to detect iPhones/iPods hitting my site.
