As a person who has been using pen computers since buying an NCR-3125 well over a decade ago (and started w/ using a Kurta graphics tablet on a Commodore 64), I believe that a TeX editor / environment for the iPad would be _very_ cool (and there is an optional keyboard and it'll probably be possible to use Bluetooth keyboards / mice w/ it) --- when typing on the on-screen keyboard, it really resembles a Radio Shack Model 100...<div>
<br></div><div>An environment optimized for use w/ the pen and w/ handwriting recognition would be especially nice, though what I'd really like to see would be LyX, not TeXshop (sorry Richard).</div><div><br></div><div>
The complaint about not being able to print is rather striking --- so long as one could display it and mark it up on-screen, that should be sufficient, though it does beg the question of how one could get an ePub out of TeX/LaTeX --- that's something which really needs to become possible.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Of course, in doing this sort of thing one will be competing w/ Apple's Pages.app which is likely a hard row to hoe (and they will have quite a head start), so perhaps one should ask if there's some sort of inter-connectivity and synergy which could be achieved by leveraging its XML format.</div>
