Answer 2

You can always do ASP.NET MVC and return JSON object to iPhone. Now that we have jQuery Mobile, it should be rather easy to do. See one example @ http://yobriefcase.posterous.com/practical-jquery-mobile-with-aspnet-mvc

Answer 3

There are a number of other server-side scripting languages you can build an application with. ASP.NET(C#/ VB / etc), Java, perl, whatever.
