Speaking of ML on iPhones and Blackberries, I created the following Mix
idea:
Title: Create an iPhone Application or an iPhone optimized version of My
Oracle Support (formerly Metalink)

Feel free to vote for it if you like.
Also, check out Chris Warticki's post:

Chris is a Sr. Customer Support Manager at Oracle.
Here is what the Oracle Blogosphere is saying about MetaLink vs. My Oracle

Latest result from the poll (http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/441775/results
):
56% (215) Classic MetaLink
42% (162) My Oracle Support
PS: MOS is not that bad.
