So, I'm a MS guy through and through... I hated people that brought Mac's into my building...
I say that - as I make a living running a 100% Microsoft network; across 3 countries; while typing on a Mac. Now I'll still walk into a room full of MS Haters/Mac Lovers - and shoot them down - a Mac will never replace PC in business... but they make home life easier - there's no question.

touchOSC is a fully functional iPhone/iPod app which allows you to create simple UI controls...
Be careful - there are so many options and choices for you to research you could have a completely bare house for much longer!I basically got excited about home automation after putting together some rather complex UI's for some musical instruments upstairs in my studio when an annoyingly loud commercial came on the TV and I was like "I wish I could just move this fader to control the volume of my HT system..." and then a couple days ago in a meeting with my interior designer (I am finally adding some furniture to my completely bare house) - she mentioned maybe considering some new fixtures and automated light settings - and thats when the HA bug kinda hit me... I have been in non-stop research mode ever since - and frankly quite disappointed in what seems to be a completely fractured and non open market.
I am leaning towards Lutron RA2, as I like that they are extremely open with their control protocol - which is going to be a must in my environment...

If you are going to automate more than just lighting, you might want to research control panel protocols as well. If you do an integrated security system / HA control panel, you could spend your time just interfacing to one protocol and let the panel support the different protocols for lighting, audio, access control, security, etc.
