the document
http://cas.ensmp.fr/~chaplais/iPhone/arev.pdf
was created with the header

\documentclass[a5paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{arev}
\usepackage[text={12cm,16cm},centering]{geometry}

using LaTeX (pdflatex) format from TeXShop.

memoir is fine, but it has a chapters counter which is a nuisance in  
an article. Perhaps there are options to remove this...

The killer feature, I think, is using the arev package with the vera  
fonts. It is very readable on a small display.

The memoir gives (visually) similar results, provided you use the  
arev package. It will be certainly preferable for people who want to  
publish a longer text...

best regards,

P.S. it looks like some some usage of \multline lies ahead....but  
it's a small price to pay.
