For the nicest iPhone appearance you will need to change the layout
somewhat. I recommend using a framework like iUI (although the example
that Matt cites doesn't appear to use an iPhone/Webkit framework it does
use jQuery.)
I'm not currently using Roller and haven't contributed to the project in
over a year, but I'd love to help you guys out because Roller is a great
project and great people. I can't promise to monitor this list closely,
but if anyone is working on a theme or plugin that uses iUI and has
questions or needs help I'm willing to walk an extra mile for Roller.
Either post on the iPhoneWebDev Google Group or e-mail me directly. If
you give me a login and a blog with the WIP templates, I'm even willing
to troubleshoot by editing the files directly via Roller.
iUI 0.40 (development release available) is using a simple theme
mechanism, so I'd recommend looking at that.
