I am looking for a way to get a twitter users userid via their username.
For example take http://twitter.com/AlySSa_miLAno (yes I know her twitter page off by heart lol) on the right hand side of the page is a link to her RSS feed:
feed://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/26642006.rss

In this context Alyssa’s userid would be 26642006.

Ideally I would like to avoid reading the full content of the page, as this could be quite expensive on a mobile device, so if anyone knows how to accomplish this using any Twitter/3rd party webservices that would be great.

    You can use a library such as: MGTwitterEngine. Then read up on the Twitter API for what attributes you want to use.
