According to Apple's own iPhone developer agreement,

"Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or 
JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only code 
written in C, C++, and Objective-C may compile and directly link against 
the Documented APIs ..."

So even if you were able to write programs for the iPhone in Gambas, doing 
so would get you rejected from the App Store.  To develop more than web 
apps for the iPhone, you need to buy a Mac and learn Objective-C (which is 
their preferred language), C or C++.  Most likely Objective-C, since C and 
C++ can be used in cross-platform toolkits and Apple is doing its best to 
kill those off.  They might institute an Objective-C-only policy in the 
future.

It may be possible to port Gambas and an X server to the iPhone/iPad for 
use by users with jailbroken devices, but without a profit or fame motive, 
I don't see anyone putting the effort into that.

I already went down this path about a year ago, and Apple's only gotten 
stricter since then.
