I know this one is going to be a long-shot, but I thought I'd try. Does anyone know of any automated test anything for the iPhone simulator? I'd love it if there was something like Selenium but for the iPhone simulator. I don't need anything fancy like assertions, just something that can fake out taps on a screen so I can stop abusing my trackpad. :)

Is there a way to send taps or keyevents (like on android over adb) to iOS devices?

iPhone OS 4.0 (just announced) includes a "UIAutomation Instrument" for test automation.

Automated testing
Automate the testing of your application by scripting touch events using the new UIAutomation Instrument.
