Stepwhite (http://code.google.com/u/stepwhite/) has released a port of Doom to the iPhone, heres the full release info:
Native Port of Doom to the iPhone
Thought the NES emulator was useless/stupid? Just wait until you see this.
There is no controller support yet, so you really can't do anything except watch the demo scenes. If you have great (or marginal, or frankly any) ideas on how to implement a controller, feel free to add a comment to the ControllerIdeas wiki page.
No audio yet (of course).
Otherwise, it works wonderfully :)
WAD files go in /var/root/Media/Doom . If the app quits immediately after launch, there was probably an issue with the wad file. If you're using the shareware wad, make sure it's named doom1.wad . If that doesn't help, execute the app from the shell so you can see the printf()s.

This was done mostly because I promised a good friend in Ireland that I would port it, on the condition I didn't have to implement any controls initially. And then waxy.org, tuaw.com and others mentioned the need for Doom.
