Dynamics CRM 4.O SDK for IPHONE
Dynamics CRM 4.O for Iphone is on the way. The developers are working on a version of the Dynamics CRM 4 SDK that will work with the iPhone via MonoTouch. Here is a preview of it creating an account in Dynamics CRM using the MonoTouch C# library. They are creating this to speed up development of xRM solutions that can leverage the power of touch based mobile devices as well as the Dynamics CRM platform.
As MonoTouch doesn't support web services natively yet, therefore they had to use the HttpWebRequest class to make raw calls to the crm web service. they also had to duplicate Request, Response, CreateRequest, CreateResponse, TargetCreateDynamic as well as all Dynamics CRM specific data types (CrmDateTime, CrmDateTimeProperty...etc).
Sample Code
Dynamics CRM SDK for the iPhone is still in its early stages, public beta will be released by the end of October.

CallerId = Guid.Empty
};
CrmWebRequest sdk = new CrmWebRequest("http://virtualcrm03/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx",
"MAGNETISM", "Administrator", "h3rew3g0", token);
// only difference here is that entity.Properties is an array instead of type PropertyCollection
DynamicEntity entity = new DynamicEntity("account");
entity.Properties = new Property[]
{
new StringProperty("name", accountName),
};
TargetCreateDynamic target = new TargetCreateDynamic
{ Entity = entity };
CreateRequest cr = new CreateRequest { Target = target };
CreateResponse response = sdk.Execute(cr) as CreateResponse;
Console.WriteLine(response.id);
