Yes, eventually, within the minor constraints of revMobile.

There is a built-in keyboard on iPad, almost full-sized. The early 
pre-alphas of revMobile already allow access to the one embedded in 
iPhones. iPad ships with several apps that require lots of data entry. 
For example, here is Pages on iPad: 
<http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/pages.html> where you can see the 
built-in keyboard.

Given the restrictions that Apple places on mobile apps, I'm not sure 
Rev's IDE could meet the requirements. The main restriction is that code 
can't be compiled on the fly, which is essential for the IDE to work.
