[Dx4win] DX4WIN and the iPhone

I use DX4WIN at home.  I'd love to figure out a way to notify myself
of a DX spot that I need.  I'm sure I could figure out how to build an
iPhone app (or send an SMS message to my iPhone) when a needed spot
shows up, but how do I get the comparison information.  Clearly the DX
spots window knows when a spot arrives for a country you need, but how
can I "pipe" that information out to another program (automatically,
without manual intervention) so another program can forward it on to
my iPhone?

There are so many cool applications on the iPhone and so few for
amateur radio.  It would sure be nice to see more for ham radio.
Ultimately, I'd love to be able to remotely control my station through
the iPhone AND be notified of important spots when not at home as
well.  Anything out there I don't know about?
