Bu= t now that the iPad is out your question makes even more sense. I don't hav= e yet an iPad but found the following after reading your message: Ram=F3n F= igueroa-Centeno announces here http://macosx-tex.576846.n2.nabble.com/LaTeX-on-the-iPad-using-TeXShop-Engi= nes-td5075337.html that he has written a few scripts, named LaTeXMe, to remotely typeset a TeX= file and download the resulting PDF to his iPad. I think that it won't be = difficult to modify the scripts in order to use ConTeXt and LuaTeX (somehow= creating a ConTeXtMe script=85). You can find Ram=F3n Figueroa-Centeno's f= iles here: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~ramonf/TeXShop/LaTeXMe.zip I must say that I have not tested the scripts but there is a PDF file expla= ining the principles behind. In any case I think that at some point Apple needs to port some sort of Mac= OS X on the iPad for the academia to be able to use the iPad as a computer= for an everyday workflow.

I am som= ewhat underwhelmed by this type of computer, but I see one area where it mi= ght be interesting to have one of those babies, and that's presentations. W= hat I'm dreaming about: a tablet that would be able to show my manuscript (= of course, a pdf produced with ConTeXt) on it's own screen and drive a pres= entation (again, pdf) on an external screen/digital projector. That way, I = would need only one technical device, no paper etc. for my presentations. I= even called Apple, but they said there is no app yet for doing this on an = iPad. Do any of you have any insights: is there anything on the market yet = that would make this possible? Is it at all feasible?
