I'd too be more interested in the iPad if that was the case. Actually the multitouch interface could lend itself well to LaTeX, I'm thinking of some customizable keyboard/palette for instance. That in combination with a good app to read and annotate papers could make this a very valuable tool in academia. It'll at least be interesting to see what people come up with. <div>

I'm thinking about an iPad. It's disappointing that this thing won't run native OS X apps (and who knows, maybe down the road a new version will), but is there any thought to porting LaTeX (and TeXShop?) to the iPhone OS (or whatever the iPad runs)?<br>
<br>
I think the iPad is mostly going to be a passive device (a terrific browser and reader, not necessarily terrific for creating content except email or other nearly pure text), so perhaps this is a foolish question.<br>
