not that it negates any of the other quite reasonable points you make, but there are actually serial adaptors out for the iPad. we've got some for work.  if anyone else wants to tackle porting this, it might actually work.

personally, I'm more for porting d-rats.  much simpler (not so device specific) and would be handy for emcomm. however, not being a real programmer and not having any python experience (short of reading bits and pieces of d-rats and chirp), I'm stuck waiting on someone else to do it :-)
