It looks like this is missing one of the (IMO) most useful pieces of Processing, though: the "one click to run" IDE. Processing is pretty much the only environment around that you can download, open, type in a few lines of code, and have an OpenGL accelerated graphical program running without any sort of configuration or installation, and (again, IMO) this is one of the most compelling things about it, especially for beginners. That would be particularly nice for iPhone, especially since XCode sucks so hard, but I can't be too greedy - I realize that getting things to build for iPhone is a nasty process that essentially must go through XCode, so perhaps there's nothing that can be done.
Even just as a library Processing is quite useful, filling in all of those simple graphical things that intuitively feel like they "should" be in any language by default (line drawing, fills, etc., and especially all the annoying graphical setup and keeping frame rates steady), so I'll definitely be checking this out.
