Isn't it cool that you won't have to anymore, though? The Objective-C requirement for native apps might still be a problem in a lot of places, but other than that, I can see the iPad being a relatively cheap platform that could work well for various kinds of experiments going forward.

IIRC, the Objective-C (plus C and C++) limitation is only for apps distributed through the App Store. Presumably ad-hoc distribution is just fine for this type of project. :^)

Only a matter of time before someone comes up with a way to install Linux on it. (There's already someone who's put Android on an iPhone 2G.)
