I picked up an iPhone recently and it's a tremendous platform for some boardgames.
Anyone know of any?

There are a few that have started to show up. An Othello-clone, Yahtzee-clone, and Scrabble come to mind.

yea I'm hoping for more myself to be made for iPhone like Settles of Catan, Apples to Apples, Lost Cities (stuck with playing that on DS for now), Blokus (just came out for PSP), Can't Stop, Hey That's My Fish, Hive, Ingenious, Time's Up, Wits and Wagers, Quoridor or any abstract games on boadspace.net. We can always dream.
Mainly, at least for now, most are word games and puzzle games out for iPhone. Here's my list of http://mrbass.org/iphone/bestgames. Don't hold your breath but yea EA is coming out with 3D Monopoly in Nov so you can blow $10 on that one...hey now.

As a heads up, I recently downloaded a free game called Lux. I'm still getting to know it, but it's pretty good, especially for the price.

I downloaded a free version of Mancala to my wife's iphone. Single player, multiplayer on same phone, or online matchmaking. It's free but it has about a 5-10 second ad between games.
She won't let me play with it enough to get any more gams.

Just downloaded a new game called Karma Star....it's $5, and is pretty fun. Kind of a mix between a board game and a strategy game.....Each game only takes about 10 minutes to play.
Wish it had online play though, maybe it'll be added later.

A second vote for Lux - - a nice freebie version of Risk.

Hmm, I own a lot of strategy games that are board games, those aren't distinct categories. What do you mean by strategy games?

Anyone know how the developers go about developing such games (Carcassonne, Roll Through the Ages, Small World etc.)? Do they actually have a license from the game publisher to develop an iPhone game totally based on a board game from another company?

Yes, a license is required to develop an official iPhone version of an existing title.
There have been a few knock-offs that have survived Apple's scrutiny (like Lux being a Risk clone) but you'll see that most board games on the iPhone or iPad give credit (usually quite prominently) to the original game designer / publisher as part of the license agreement.
On a related note (  ) my iPhone / iPad game development company has licensed a number of games that are popular on BGG for iPhone and iPad. Watch for announcements, forum postings, ads, etc. starting in the next few weeks!

Flight of the seabirds, scattered like lost words, wheel to the storm and fly. Fare thee well now, let your life proceed by it's own design. Nothing to tell now, let the words be yours, I'm done with mine.
To seek the sacred river Alph, to walk the caves of ice, to break my fast on honey dew and drink the milk of paradise... I had heard the whispered tales of immortality, the deepest mystery from an ancient book I took a clue.

There is a "Risk" like world domination game called Dominion available for the iPad and iPhone. Not to be confused with the popular card game, here's the link if you are interested;

Cogs is another game much like a board game, but in 3D.

LOL — nice bump on an ancient thread.
And, yeah, there's just a few boardgames out there for the iPhone ...

If you like conquer the workd games, Conquest of Europe is fun, or maybe I think it is fun because it reminds me of Castle Risk
