FWIW, Inside Trader 2 is moving toward a much more iPhone-ish layout.
Also, Magic Framework should give you as iPhone-esque of a layout as
you want, with lists, buttons, headers, and sliding views. Of course
it's not for everyone, but just as a point of note Magic Framework !=
Inside Trader exactly.

In fact, Inside Trader 1.0-1.1 doesn't even use Magic Framework at
all.
