Well, if one uses OSC as the protocol, there's nothing to develop for the iPhone, because there's already a great UI app that uses it. It would only be necessary to develop the EMC part.
If there's not already an OSC application for the Nokia, it shouldn't be too hard to make one. Here's a link to TouchOSC. You can see that it's a general purpose GUI. Nothing has any assigned purpose. It generally takes the form of sliders and buttons. Maybe for CNC you would also want numeric input and numeric display. But as it is, it could display alarms, initiate sequences, etc. http://hexler.net/software/touchosc There are other similar tools available. Maybe there's already one for the Nokia, or Android.
