What you actually want is a mobile projection of the HN site! iPhone is the dominant device in the US but I am sure you want to open up to Asia's Nokia, Google's Android and the BlackBerry as well.
We launched Mobify.Me in a post earlier today and here's a mobile version of HN done in around 5 minutes (as it's very late here in Vancouver). All you'd have to do is point a DNS entry for m.ycombinator.com to:

- All that has changed is the front page, which already displayed fine on mobile devices. Every other page (comments, etc) is unchanged. Comments sometimes have rendering problems on mobile devices (they're sometimes way too wide), so it seems like the Comments pages should be modified, not the front page.
- Valuable information has been stripped, including login status and current karma count.
- The header color has been stripped.
- Items should be spaced further apart.
You just filled a need for the guy who says "make something people want."
