Edit: Direct Link to Battle.net Mobile Authenticator on iTunes App Store
WoWInsider is reporting that the rumored iPhone Authenticator App is now available for free download on the App Store. I quickly grabbed my iPhone and did a quick search for "Blizzard" on the App store and a scrolled towards the bottom, revealing that it was indeed available for no charge! iPhone users will have to convert their WoW accounts to Battle.net in order to take advantage, but the App is a great alternative for those who haven't been able to find the $6.50 Authenticators due to the constant Sold Out status on the Blizzard store. This should also help relieve some of those supply issues as most users who have the ability will likely choose to use the iPhone over an extra device to carry.
The description of the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator on the iPhone App Store is:
Do you play World of Warcraft using a Battle.net account? Protect the account with the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator for you iPhone, an optional tool that offers an additional layer of security to help prevent unauthorized account access. The Battle.net Mobile Authenticator gives you the security of two-factor authentication. Each time you log in to a Battle.net account, you'll use the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator to generate a unique one-time use password to use in addition to your regular password. Log in with both and you can rest easy knowing that the account is more secure against unauthorized access.
Now, since installing the program, I haven't been able to find it again on the App Store. Also, many users seem to be having problems finding it in other regions like the UK and Canada. Anyone out there able to get the App installed on your iPhone or iPod Touch? For now, I'll hang on to my key fob, but I may soon be able to get rid of it since I'll always have my phone on me. Of course, that also means I'll have to keep the iPhone charged.

Got it thanks for the tweets juggies!!!
When it was first posted on WoWInsider I couldn't find it on the Canadian App Store on my iPod Touch.
Since then, though, I found it on the actual iTunes Store on my laptop (search 'Blizzard' and it's called 'Battle.net Mobile Authenticator'), and I download it with no trouble.
The Canadian iTunes link is: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=306862897&mt=8
It was an easy set up, and it works great! Beats constantly checking for stock and then waiting for the Blizz Authenticator to ship! *^_^* Plus, I could really use that $6.50 USD :P
It would seem that the Canadian iTunes link is the same as the US one that Juggy posted above.
I won't be offended if you all click his instead of mine... :P
Try searching for authenticator! Works best that way!
Yay! I searched for "authenticator" and found it a few taps down the screen. Thanks :)
Damn me for going for capacity other features (120gb Classic).
Still I get to listen to my 74gb of Music and watch podcasts on the 8gb they use. o_O
