--- End quote ---

I've actually written an iPad app that works as a remote control for SdrDx. It displays a waterfall and play audio, and lets you change the frequency, mode etc. I use it when doing antenna work, I take it with me and connect over WiFi, so I can see the results of adjusting the antenna in real time.  It's not entirely stable at this point, and I don't know what the market would be for it, so I haven't released it yet. But if there's interest I could look into it again.

Doing an actual entire SDR in the iPad does not sound feasible, as I don't really know a way to get I/Q data into it except over WiFi (you won't be able to use an RTL dongle via USB like on Android), so I'm not sure of the utility over just using a computer?

skeezix:
Instead of having the whole SDR program on the iPad, could you have the main SDR program running on a computer and the iPad/iPhone connect to it for control, display, and the audio stream?  The program on the computer could have a full interface with the iPad/iPhone as supplemental controls. Could also have a mode with no interface so it runs in the background doing the processing with full control from the remote device. Could even have a program for another computer for people that want to remote control & stream from elsewhere.

audiokaos:
fldigi ported to android... Heard it's not possible due to the graphics library that it uses though...:(

Winlink 2k would be neat too.

Antennae:
An SDR remote for iPad would be very useful:

-For finding interfering devices
-For adjusting the antenna
-For doing experiments (I'm imagining a wire on a jackite pole and moving it around like one ear of a big bunny ear antenna).

It wouldn't require hi fidelity, just something to see instant feedback. One could adjust a random wire without going all the way back into the shack. 

IQ_imbalance:
This isn't well thought out but....could some way to illustrate propagation be added to the shortwave schedule app?
