Two part question:
- Does the iPhone have a unique ID other than it's MAC address?
- If so, is there an API call I can use to get it?
(hopefully this isn't a duplicate, I couldn't find anything on SO)

The iPhone does have a unique identifier, called the UDID (this is the same identifier used when setting up a device for development or when doing ad hoc distribution). You can retrieve it as so:
NSString *uniqueIdentifier = [UIDevice currentDevice].uniqueIdentifier;

3Just to inform the late comers to this question, the said method is now deprecated in `iOS5`. – IBG Feb 09 '12 at 02:44
