SecuMail: PGP for iPhone
SecuMail, from On-Core Software LLC, is the first nearly-complete PGP app for iPhone. It stores keys, encrypts, decrypts, and interacts with keyservers. It does NOT generate or validate signatures, nor does it generate new keys. But it has a killer flaw. They want $50 for it. I'll switch to Android first, where PGP is free or cheap.
Most people store their PGP
Most people store their PGP private keys on their computers. I guess a mobile device might be easier to lose, or to steal, but the PGP key is still protected by its passphrase, and you can set the unlock time to whatever you want. I don't see any reason to believe that a mobile OS is more prone than a desktop OS to rootkits that could look inside the RAM of a running PGP app and pull out the unencrypted PGP key numbers.

I wouldn't want my PGP
I wouldn't want my PGP private key on a mobile device that's not encrypted, regardless of what OS it was running or how good or bad the software was.
