I own a 4th-gen iPod Touch, and I even have an iPad at work, so I've considered
it. I think it could be done for the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch. In fact, I could
see a pared-down LDView running there quite happily. The library could be a
simple zip file (either unzipped during the first run or simply left in zip
format depending on how that performed).
However, publishing such an app would require somebody to spend $100 per year on
an iOS developer account, and I'm not personally willing to do that.
