Guys,
you still don't understand Apple's policy.

Never,
Again, Apple does *not* oppose authoring. There are many authoring apps in the app store already.
What they oppose to is *running downloaded code*. That unfortunately includes opening Etoys projects from the Web or Email etc. Creating an Etoys project on the iPad itself would not be a problem. Neither is shipping example projects with the app.
So, in fact, I think it would be fine to build an "etoys illinois" iPad app that includes all projects. It might be somewhat large though ...
but with network access an Etoys-like app in the web browser could save to a remote server without ever needing to be approved by Apple's app store.
Right.
By the same token, "never" means you never get access to the attitude sensor, accelerometer and other fun gadgets unless Apple makes them available to all web developers.
Accelerometer data on iOS devices has been available to web developers since 2010.
