Can something like this be done at all on the iPhone? I don't imagine it does cron jobs smile

The unofficial SDK would let you do that but I don't know whether the official SDK will.

Your battery life would probably suck though. The non 3G iPhone relied on it going to sleep regularly and shutting down EDGE and WiFi.
