What's the usability benefit over simply having an iPhone friendly web UI?

You are probably joking, but I will repeat anyway: I asked about usability benefits.

oh, I wasnt - just misread.

iPhone apps have better integration with OS -- eg GPS/Camera. Also lets you use the Gyro to rotate display.

Same UI elements, for the most part though
