Hi Andrew, At this time, we are releasing BrailleTouch for the iPhone and iPod touch.
The iPad is indeed an interesting platform, but poses different challenges for touchscreen braille writing. In the academic research where we developed the BrailleTouch prototype, we also built and tried out an iPad braille keyboard. Because of the additional screen real estate, we found that some peoples' hands tended to drift across the screen over time. This caused the machine to misinterpret characters, and the users to have to reset their hand positions frequently. An iPad version is certainly possible in the future, but it will require more work in order to be accurate, reliable, and not frustrating to use.
