ESRI ArcGiS Server iPhone Client Out; Where to get Data?



Twitter and the blogosphere are all excited because ESRI's first iOS app is available (iTunes link, ESRI page for the product). There's no press release yet, for those looking for one. Update: the press release came out this afternoon.

I think this post from @jpete24 says quite a lot about the state of affairs: 

Anybody notice that the ArcGIS app is out for the iPhone? Anybody got some cool GIS servers to tie into?

At least for now folks are expected to tap into ArcGIS.com services (ESRI's basemaps, Bing, OSM), and as James Fee points out, only ESRI services are accessible, not OGC ones, at this point.
