iTW Beta by Bidix
BidiX has a iPhone optimized version of TiddlyWiki available here: http://itw.bidix.info/
TW on iPhone using a data url bookmark
I believe it's possible if you sync the bookmark from safari via iTunes. But you can't save. (Though save to url should be possible. Anyone thought about this?)
Saving using virtual disk
It is possible to store TiddlyWiki documents on a [http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/browse_thread/thread/35d17fdd24c43391 virtual disk] on the iPhone or iPod Touch.

I've had the chance to play with TiddlyWiki on an iPhone. It works as a pretty perfect clone of the desktop Safari experience, with iPhone pinch-zoom goodness to make it navigable on the tiny display. The problems are:
The planned stripping back of the core code should improve the performance situation. It's possible that a solution to the saving problem will come in the form of a native iPhone app that wraps WebKit to provide a custom host for TiddlyWiki.
In the short term, I've started investigating a plugin to attack the last problem, optimising the TiddlyWiki UI for the iPhone. (Inspired by http://www.joehewitt.com/iui/)

Jeremy mentions that it isn't possible to load the TW file from a file:// URL. This is because the iPhone (and iPod Touch) do not have a 'publicly accessible' file system and therefore the browser does not support the file:// protocol on these platforms.

It is possible to load a TW file from a file:// URL on jailbroken iPhones. There is a package on ModMyi.com that contains the http://modmyi.com/cydia/package.php?id=1387 file schema. With jailbroken iPhones, the full filesystem is accessible, through programs such as http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/openssh/ SSH or http://iphone.heinelt.eu/?Applications:iFile iFile. If you do use SSH, make sure you change the root password!

Notes from Poul
Some of us would argue that the iPhone is intended as a terminal for telephony and web access. You would store your notes on a server or 'in the cloud' using either of hosted solutions like TiddlyWeb or giewiki. That way, the sync problem is not a problem. I admit that with giewiki, I still need to focus on reducing the # of web requests.
Anyway, the biggest problem seems to be that since you don't have cursor keys, you can't scroll in edit boxes (or can you..yes: use 2 fingers & lors of patience).

I've had the chance to play with TiddlyWiki on an iPhone. It works as a pretty perfect clone of the desktop Safari experience, with iPhone pinch-zoom goodness to make it navigable on the tiny display. The problems are:
- it takes ages to load; over EDGE it's excruciating, but even over wifi you have to be pretty patient
- even once it's loaded, JavaScript intensive actions can be painfully slow. For example, clicking on a tiddler link can take more than a second to open the target tiddler
- it doesn't seem possible to load the TW file from a file:// URL; therefore there is no obvious avenue to explore for saving changes locally
- the desktop UI although usable doesn't really work well on the tiny screen; built in iPhone apps like Mail show a more iPhone-native way of accomplishing some of the same things
The planned stripping back of the core code should improve the performance situation. It's possible that a solution to the saving problem will come in the form of a native iPhone app that wraps WebKit to provide a custom host for TiddlyWiki.
