Gavin, those are great resources. Thanks for showing the community how powerful some of the new Moodle2 features are.
Though mTouch (which is a native app) may fall under those guidelines, the other project (moodle4iphone) is being developed as an addon to a theme of a Moodle site. This would put it outside the purview of the App store and would maintain the integrity of the open source project at large.
I do think that it's unfortunate that developers cannot "open source" an app for any Apple products (but I guess you pay a premium for Apple for a reason). I didn't mean for the article to be a commercial for any specific project, but I do want to reiterate that a movement to make Moodle mobile is a step in the right direction for open source learning. In fact, I'm pretty sure that these two will not remain the only two players in the mobile Moodle market very long, rumor is Open University is already working on their own.
