Here is a tutorial to power your iPhone to have support of IME:
1. Open Internet Explorer 7 on your PC and go to http://www.gownfull.com/. You will see three icons, and then click the purple one "GownFull".
2. You will see a link "Start GownFull". Right click on the link and select "Add To favourite".
3. You will see a warning message telling that the link might be dangerous. (It is because the link is a bookmarklet and it will run some program code.) Click "Yes" in this dialog:
4. Then, click "Add".
5. You should see a new bookmark under "My Favourite" menu:
6. The next step is to synchronize your iPhone with your PC using iTunes. After doing this, you will see the bookmark in Safari of your iPhone. Your iPhone is now powered by GownFull and can input chinese on any website!
7. You can go to any forum or webmail and open your bookmark list, then click "Start GownFull (Alpha)".
8. Wait a second and then you will see our GownFull IME bar appear on the top of the page. If you do not see it, try to scroll to the top of the page.
9. Zoom-in to the GownFull IME bar and click the down-arrow to select your favourite Input Method:
10. Wait for the loading of the IM, and then you can now enter Chinese in any textarea/input box.
(Note that: The first character of iPhone is in capital letter, and it cannot be captured by our IME. Currently, you have to press "Shift" to overcome this restriction. We will address this problem in our later release.)
We know that it is still very inconvenient to use our IME on iPhone. That's why we need your opinions and make our service better. Don't hesitate to tell us in our Google Group http://groups.google.com/group/gownfull if you have any questions or suggestions.

I was trying GownFull using DaYi IME with IE. Somehow there seems to be a bug: it takes only the first 3 codes, but not the last one (the 4th). In DaYi it is supposed to take 4 codes to come up with one Chinese character. Other than that, this is an awesome tool!!

Thank you for reporting this problem. We will investigate it later.
We find the DaYi Table from other open source IME project such as scim / gcim / open vanilla. Sometimes our developer just don't know the details of a particular IME and overlook issues within existing sources.
I think it would be funny to evaluate each IME again. As user may not know all tricks and Easter eggs inside. :P
