"This had crossed my mind but, to be honest, I ended up thinking it would be a bit pointless: One would need to become familiar with Objective-C to write the thing yet, once familiar with Objective-C, one wouldn't need it."
That's true but if you could become familiar enough to write such a converter and then make it available to everyone else, even at a cost, then the many others who don't understand ObjectiveC would benefit greatly. And they'd all need your converted to develop for the iPhone.
I for one would probably pay a reasonable amount to be able to bridge the gap to the iPhone. It's a good market and it's going to explode.
