If they were going to spend the time/money to do this, I would have thought they'd have done it years ago when most PocketPCs had RS232 ports - the code would have been simpler to port.
You don't need RS-232 on an iPhone or in JavaScript or anything like that. You take your PC that has an RS-232 port (or USB) and write a webserver for it that controlls the Meridian via RS-232. Then you browse to that server from Any Client (iPhone, PC, Mac, Laptop).
This is a similar model SlimServer uses. I can CONTROL my SqueezeBox and the software that feeds it and nothing special has to be on the iPhone or and other browser client.
