Some ideas that have been going through my head that I don't see myself ever getting around to working on (beyond the initial "jot them down in a notebook" stage):
1. An iPad interface for reMail. Not iPhone, but, definitely something that people would use and exposes you (the OP) to what a nice ObjC codebase looks like (personal formatting nitpicks aside). Might be able charge for this, if you wanted; reMail's source is now Apache 2, iirc.
2. Or maybe take the old Objective-C code from Tim Berners-Lee's original web browser and hack it up to the point where it works (don't know how big of a task this really is) and stick it into an iPad UI that looks how WorldWideWeb originally did. Might get rejected for having a non-WebKit-renderer. And not iPhone. But, I think that it'd be a fun project to hack on and something that you can show off.
3. If you use hg and bitbucket, an equivalent of iOctocat. Or maybe bzr and launchpad, whatever. Again, could probably charge for it, if you wanted to.

I'm not planning to buy an iPad, so there goes 1. 2 would be fun but I'm liking the 3 idea, maybe for redmine which is what I currently use.
