that might be true (although I guess there are some GPLed apps in the store) 
and I think the FSF put it into a nutshell in their blog:

Me too and I see the following options:

1. The initial idea was to compile gnupg for the iOS (I think this is 
technically possible) and build a GUI around it. But I guess we've to find a 
non-GPLed OpenPGP C implementation instead. But is there one?

2. At lease I know an OpenPGP implementation in JavaScript that could be used 
for a very simple client (e.g. no support for POP/IMAP, MIME encoded mails, 
currently DSA, ...). See [1] for details.

Best regards, Alex
