The reason is that (for iPhone at least) until recently, Apple did not authorise control of any mechanical equipment (most likely that they needed to get their lawyers to draw up exceedingly long liability clauses for their developers/users).
Then you've got the issue of connectivity (there are a few options coming shortly), and some available now for specific software.
Once the wired (serial) cable comes out in the next month or so, in THEORY is should be able to be used with multiple applications, maybe we should touch base and convert your app to iPhone!
