You'd need to be part of the Works for iPhone program.

Perhaps. According to the iPhone OS Accessories page:

Your application can communicate with your own accessory using a custom protocol, or any accessory that uses a standard protocol provided by the manufacturer.

Either way, I believe you still need to join the Made for iPod and Works with iPhone Licensing Program in order to get the details. If you need more information, I suggest you contact Apple.

as itunes is able to talk to iphone, so why cant iphone/iPod touch talk to pc/mac ? at least i presume, the default cable that comes with iPhone is "Works with iPhone" licensed, is not it ?

Apple do not publish the protocol used to communicate.

in that case can i read usb data from a PC / Mac ?
can I push data from a PC / Mac to iPhone ?
How much does that cost ? Individuals allowed ?

Talk to Apple. They can answer these questions.

It's more that we don't know. I don't think (although I could be wrong) that any of the regular posters in this forum are members of the Made for iPhone program. It has always seemed a rather secretive thing to me with not much detail about what you can and can't do being available...

i talked to 1-800-275-2273 from
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html

You may have to join the program and sign an NDA before anyone will tell you even that little.
