I recently bought an iPod (not iPhone). On it I put MobileOrg (not the Android version). My process is to work with my .org files on a thumbdrive (this allows portability) and even have emacs for windows on the same thumbdrive (all my *nix machines already have emacs). My .emacs file is even kept on the thumbdrive. This keeps my "authoritative" .org files on the thumb drive and even on a TrueCrypt volume for security (also portable). Nice, safe and private. Next, I have a WebDav account online where I can then "publish" my .org files and have them sync'd with MobileOrg on the iPod. Works beautifully. CATCH: the WebDav account I'm using is on my own personal server I have on the internet. I work very hard to secure my server and there are no other admins. So I'm pretty comfortable with my .org files residing on it. However, there are public, free WebDav servers out there you can use also. I've also been able to get my Agenda events into the iPod's calendar app via Chandler tools. I'll spare everyone the details unless asked.
