Looking at your list of requirements, you are closer to the functionality of the iPhone than perhaps you think. The only missing peice is the ability to sync to iTunes. Perhaps you should convert your iTunes library to MP3's if you have not already done so. If you have, you can simply sync the MP3's to your phone with activesync.

Clearly you would miss out on the cool interface that the iPhone offers and the iPhone apps, but you could, with some minor set-up effort, replicate the functionality you are looking for.

It seems very unlikely that you will ever see an iPhone ROM on our TP2 or any other non-apple device. It is a bit like asking my toaster to make coffee. The best you could hope for would be an emulator that might runs parts of the iPhone software. However even that seems unlikely as there is no legal commercial market for it.

I suggest you focus on making your TP2 do what you want rather than porting the iPhone to new hardware.
