Sounds like you're unfamiliar with Apple's ban on interpreted languages: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/04/apple-scratch-app "An Application may not itself install or launch other executable code by any means, including without limitation through the use of a plug-in architecture, calling other frameworks, other APIs or otherwise.

[IAEP] Crazy Idea
Hi All... Here is a crazy idea for you all to laugh at, think about, or act on: Sugar Apps! Some schools are getting iPod touches (??? is that the plural) for their elementary schools to use. Apple has a big push with this and has several demo projects going. I saw one at CUE in March. Very impressive! All they need to make it perfect is some Sugar Apps!
