Hi, Kathy: 

I would consider one of the non apple tablets that are coming out, like xoom or one of the windows 7 tablets.  Mostly because the ipad has a custom adaptor, no usb or video out.  Also, designing custom software for the ipad is very problematic, requiring either that you modify the ipad or do it through Apple, either of which presents problems.  You could do it as a web based application, which would have the advantage of it running on different platforms,

Kathy, if you'd like to talk some more let me know.

We were considering having a 42" touch screen running off an IPad to accomplish this.  Does anyone have experience with something like this?
