Yeah, but the clincher I think is whether or not Apple will let us ship apps that allow users to *type code in by hand*. If that winds up being okay, and the full blown crusade against users programming is quieted a bit, we could do an Etoys or Scratch "mobile" that has import crippled, and export setup to send the projects to a website. 

We could then make a "teachers" edition, and teachers could deploy the kids projects to the app store. 

It sucks, but it's better than nothing.
