It would be great if there was a version of this that could work on a pda or iphone device to read and annotate pdfs while on a train or away from a computer.
No. I don't have a Macintel (and the iPhone SDK is Intel only). Moreover I have neither an iPhonbe nor a PDA, so I couldn't test it out. And I have absolutely no interest in working on it.
Anyone else of course is free to join.

I can't tell you how much I want an iPhone version of Skim. Desperately is as close as I can come. There's an app currently available that allows notes and freehand annotations (drawing lines around stuff), but nothing as slick as Skim.

There is an app in AppStore called Annotater that will do some markup, but no highlighting (which is my most important need). I've had nothing but problems with installing (from iTunes) and synching PDFs with it, but it's a great proof of concept. I think if Skim was ported as an iPhone app WITHOUT trying to use its own proprietary file-synching (which is my biggest problem with Annotater) and just stick with other available, more standard file transfer/management apps, this would be the best thing ever for doing research on the road.

Adding my voice to those who'd love to see an iPhone/iPod Touch version. The ability to annotate and highlight PDFs is one of the only reasons I'm considering the Kindle... would absolutely be willing to pay for Skim as an iPhone/iPod App.

Skim notes could never work on the iPhone, because SKim notes data depend on AppKit, which is not available in iOS. So any app for iOS would just be some comletely separate PDF app, that has nothing to do with Skim in particular.

The fact that iOS support would be a completely separate app still stands. As well as the fact that I will not spend the considerable time to develop it.

Still waiting for one day, skim can be downloaded in ipad and view notes marked by macOS.
Maybe for the first version, the ability to just view notes is enough.

agreed that this would be difficult (esp. the editing part), but I'd love to see this.

The notes data would now be compatible with iOS.
