 I don't know. The iPhone seems to do just fine with HTTP and the Web in 
 general. Don't make the mistake of designing protocols around the 
 limitations 
 of current hardware. (Or, in this case, not-so-current hardware. Gopher 
 is well-suited to the limits of phones a few generations behind the curve.) 
  
 More to the point, very little is in Gopherspace at this point. The gopher 
 archive sites were (apparently) hopping places until about 1993-1994, but 
 practically none of them have been updated since. It's interesting for 
 historians and nostalgia buffs, but the information is mostly on the web 
 now.
