If that is all there is then they don't have much legal grounds to limit you like this.
It depends on how they define competing though as to whether this affects your startup or not - if your doing iPhone work for them it may count (that's probably why it's worth talking to a lawyer to find out).
Anything else (non-competing work, outside consultancy and open source code) is irrelevant - unless it comes under employment laws for the country (highly unlikely).
