Yeah, OK - I get that much - so we could investigate it. But wouldn't
we need a GUI designed for the iPad to look like the Ardour screen and
to respond to touches in the right locations mapping them back to
events in Ardour? I thought the mapping part was something (OSC?) but
still we want it to look like Ardour, right? I don't think we want to
do remote X display on the iPad.

And I'm just brainstorming. I'm not suggesting anyone do anything.
