Anyone knows any application that will allow me to share my OS X Lion screen with an iPhone? I don't care to have it over the Internet, WiFi is sufficient.

There are dozens and dozens of apps that do this; try just doing a search for "screen sharing" in the App Store. – timothymh Apr 30 '12 at 12:21
The big division line is some apps mirror the Lion screen using VNC screen sharing and others allow the iPad to be an additional virtual screen. Are you looking for one, the other or both? – bmike♦ Apr 30 '12 at 18:40
I am just looking to share the screen of the Lion to an iPhone. I don't care for giving control to the iPhone. It may as well work only on local WifI – latusaki Apr 30 '12 at 22:13

I've been using Remoter VNC for a while now and I'm quite happy with the result. Their website covers most of it's features, so I suggest you take a look and find out yourself if it fits your needs.

Seems good but its gonna cost like £13 and has way more stuff than I need on it. – latusaki Apr 30 '12 at 12:25
I don't know which app you've clicked on, but VNC will cost you only about $1.99. – Michiel Apr 30 '12 at 12:34
@latusaki +1 Remoter VNC is great. If you want something free Mocha VNC Lite should do the job and is designed for both iPhone and iPad. – binarybob Apr 30 '12 at 13:19

The title of the question says iOS, so here's an iPad solution.

I use DisplayPad (currently $2.99 USD). It's great because it's got close to zero configuration parameters: it just works. My Mac treats the iPad like a second monitor.

It doesn't work on the iPhone as far as I'm aware.
