In my personal workflow, I don't think I could actually u= se an iPad or a similar device to produce content; so running TeX on it is = not something I find interesting. But I could imagine that it would be a us= eful device for presenting stuff that has been prepared on a real computer.= So I'll wait a bit and see if interesting apps turn up!
