But I would LOVE to be able to run everything from inside an iPad app using Wifi and/or 3G.

The tools were designed from the ground-up to function in a Windows environment, and would essentially need to be rewritten to run anywhere else.

The best you can do is hope someone makes a website and use that. Already a few exist, although I'm building a custom one specifically for me (I have very specific needs and am very fussy ).
