Hi Thomas,
Sometimes ago I asked a related question about TeX, iPhone and electronic
books, as far as reading mathematical and technical papers are concerned. But
now that the iPad is out your question makes even more sense. I don't have yet
an iPad but found the following after reading your message: Ramón
Figueroa-Centeno announces here
http://macosx-tex.576846.n2.nabble.com/LaTeX-on-the-iPad-using-TeXShop-Engines-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…). You can find Ramón Figueroa-Centeno's files 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
explaining 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.
Richard Koch (TeXshop) is porting tex processing to the ipad. (I don't
have one so I cannot comment on viewing aspects).
