Scratch

Wow! That sounds really great, although I have no Iphone. 
You should go looking around the suggestions section and research some good ideas there. 

Btw did you make your site wrensation with "webs.com?"

Really, all you need to do to make scratch for the iphone is to get the isqueak vm for the iphone and make a edited scratch morph that supports dropdown block menus instead of the scrolling square selector, an open and save menu, and  make it the res of the ipod's screen.(the ipad version will be easier when theres a squeak for it, because of the freedom with the screen size)

*EDIT* unless facebook and twitter integration are crucial and easy, make sure it works first, then add the cool stuff.

Tell me if you're using a squeak vm, or making a completely new program from scratch.(pun not intended)

We could make a new website, couldn't we?

No I didn't use webs.com to make it.

@cds56:
I am not going to use squeak to make it. I am going to create my own engine and use objective-c to create it. The facebook and twitter integration are easy to do. The thing is that it won't be compatible from scratch because of the lack of a keyboard that isn't virtual. It will use touches and other gestures for gameplay along with maybe an on screen joypad that you could use or a HUD like other games. All options. Maybe a block could activate them for use.

The virtual keyboard works fine on my uh pda for emulators, and scratch 1.4 there, so there shouldn't be much of a problem, the only thing is that my pda has arrow keys like a built in physical buttons. uh, virtual arrow-keys are the only thing missing from the keyboard I think

The keyboard takes up to much space in game. It would give you very little space to do anything else in the game.

I am talking about the virtual keyboard of the iPhone/iPod Touch. It takes up half of the screen. It takes up too much room for it to display the whole time.

The iphone keyboard will used very little only if someone needs to enter something. For other things, there will be options for showing a joypad or on screen controls to make it easier on the user programming it.

I have been looking around forever, I have a jailbroken iphone and was wondering how the heck to get the isqueak VM. Is there a cydia repo for it?

I am not sure if there is a cydia repo for it or not. But I do know is that Scratch for iPhone should never be programmed using such an outdated and weak programming language.

anyways, iSqueak is here:

TADA! although I don't know what it's potential is, It should work with a scratch image, or just plain squeak.

iScrode. Just an idea for a name.

Not bad. Maybe iCode? Or AppMaker? Or something else?

AppMaker? Most definetely taken.
iCode? Probably taken. 

Is this going to be a free app?
