This is the simple back story from a quick email response from Mike De Sisti about the Journal Sentinel’s main photo being shot with an iPhone by staff photographer Joe Koshollek. http://twitpic.com/3ea64
We needed a photo fast for the web. JS photographer Joe Koshollek shot it right when he got on the scene, and sent it with his iPhone. Which we then posted to our website. He shot other images with his regular gear.
The image was selected from the rest by the night picture editor as it told the story better than the other pictures he shot from the event. We didn’t make a bid deal that it was an iPhone image, so I’m guessing that fact wasn’t considered in choosing the photo for print.
THIS IS WHAT I SAY: It’s the content, not the TOOL! Put any tool in a non-visual person’s hands and the picture might possibly lack the composition, lighting, and moment that give images the quality needed to be published.

That’s great. Not sure what app he used but apps like FTP cam you shoot the picture in the app. Push the button and it’s instantly FTP’d where you want it to go. It doesn’t get any faster then that.
