Where can I network with Iphone game developers?

I write original music for TV...I'm looking to write music for Iphone games. Are there any specific sites or forums where Iphone game developers hang out? Would like to make some contacts within the industry.

I'm open to connecting with a group of developers on a collective project and share in profits...but I've noticed in the PC gaming arena there are lots of groups creating awful games that will never turn a profit.

Maybe a forum like this one?

A few places to start:
iPhoneDevs forums
Google iPhone SDK Group
Mobile Orchard may have some links somewhere
I know that there are iPhone developer meetup groups in NYC and Silicon Valley, if you find yourself near either of those.

Why only iPhone games? There are tons of independent game developers who need good audio resources. (How are you on foley work, voice work, and sound effects? The fewer people a small developer has to source the better.)

Start at IGF, IGC, and the Game Developers Conference and branch out from there.

If you don't have experience doing audio from games, you might be surprised about some of the technical issues you'll have to deal with. Game developer magazine has a monthly audio column that's worth reading. You can find some of their back articles at Gamasutra.

There is an iPhone developer irc channel on the irc.freenode.net network, #iphonedev where they tend to congregate.
