As a long time iPeng user and fan, I agree.  The iThangs (phone, touch,
pad) will do many things differently than the SBTouch.  Why hobble the
UI?

Stuff I would like to see:

Currently, in the SBS webUI, URLs in COMMENTs are automatically parsed
and rendered into links.  It would be nice if iPeng could do this too
and allow Safari to open the link.  This ability goes way back to the
6.0 days, I believe.

E.g:

Code:
--------------------
    
  REM COMMENT "Bauer, Marion Eugénie (b Walla Walla, WA, 15 Aug 1882; d South 
Hadley, MA, 9 Aug 1955). American composer, teacher and writer on music.; 
http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/subscriber/article/grove/music/02353?q=Bauer&search=quick&pos=3&_start=1#firsthit;
 Orchestral Works; Ambache Chamber Orchestra and Ensemble; "
  
--------------------


Also currently in the webUI, if a COMMENT or LYRIC tag contains html,
the webUI renders this correctly and, again, allows the user to click on
and open any links embedded.

E.g.: 

Code:
--------------------
    
  comment[6]: LYRICS=<a 
href=http://squeezeserver/t_Post%20Modern%20Contemporary/Tenney,%20J/bio.html 
target=_blank>
  <h3>Tenney, James (Carl)</h3>
  <p>(b Silver City, NM, 10 Aug 1934; d Valencia, CA, 24 Aug 2006). American 
composer, theorist, educator and performer.</p>
  </a> 
  
--------------------

These features were initially broken in the 7.0 'new default' SC skin
when Michael started putting it together.  I think it was almost a
one-liner for him to re-enable this.  Hopefully, it wouldn't be much
harder for you to put the same functionality into iPeng.  But I don't
really have a clue, really, about what sort of a coding effort I'm
asking for here.
