You can take a pretty good hint at what is to come from my current rig: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/deep-six-brewing-system-v2-0-a-79435/
I can actually type on it really well with my thumbs..

Very cool. Finally a reason to have one 
You getting into writing you own app for control or interfacing with it some other way?

I thought long and hard about converting the app to HTML5 with AJAX refeshing things behind the scenes, but will settle for a remote desktop app. I've been talking with the developers of the app and they have agreed to put in a few small changes in their next update which will make it work perfectly on the iPad..

Is AJAX what you call your current interface?

Damn.. Sorry. My inner geek came out. No, that is just a technology to update a web page without refreshing it over and over..

I was at a trade show a couple weeks ago. There were three of four of them in the booth to use for presentations. They were pretty slick.
They were loaded with pics and vids of our equipment running in just about any application you could think of. When a customer came to ask if we could run his product we could show him a nice, hi-rez video on the screen in seconds.
Sadly, they are not nearly as versatile as a sub-compact notebook PC. You can't plug in a network cable either, which is essential when traveling.

Here is a pic of it running full screen from the iPad..

While I won't disagree, you could always travel with a 'pocket' wifi hotspot which plugs into a network..
For me, it is all I carry to work anymore..

Ever get around to making your system commercially available?

No.. I get asked about it regularly but there are just too many variables in play to make it work for other peoples rigs. Plus I just don't have time.. Even if someone wired theirs up the exact same way, I've tailored the code to the data I've captured from my rig.. I was actually somewhat relieved when all these other automation 'kits' started showing up..

My rig hasn't changed.. I'm just remote controlling it from the iPad.

I would of been all over the Ipad had it been 720p with an x86 processor in it.

I'm getting about 3.8 Mbps down and 450 Kbps upload from home.. But I'm also getting spotty results from my pc so something must be up with my dsl. While I bought the 3G version, I have yet to use it.. Instead I'm just wifi tethering my droid. It is getting about 1.8 Mbps downloads and 150 Kbps uploads through verizon's 3G. Damn good enough for surfing a little at work.
Which remote desktop app did you end up using?
And... awesome!

Jump Desktop.. It is pretty amazing. Not only is it a remote desktop app- it uses a google p2p technology to remote into any pc behind most any firewall without opening any ports, etc.. Works flawlessly.

Way cool!!!! As soon as the iPad was announced I knew it would be a perfect fit for what you are using it for. This is exactly what I would like to do with my home brewing someday........
