Not going to happen. There'd just be too many technical challenges :)

The Ipad is new enough as it is, if apple discontinued the ipad, and PS 'had' made it compatable, it woul have been wasted effort, I say wait till the ipad has been out for a few years...

- implement arm cortex atomic  primitives in the threading support of cs (right now there are only armv5tel swap which doesn't always work as expected)
- write a render manager for cs for opengl ES2
- figure out how to stick big data in that little amount of ram (but at least there are boards with enough ram like the pandaboard with a dualcore arm cortex and double video out and the last PoweVR display chip way better than any tablet and phone out yet as the OMAP4 chip is still not used in mainstream)

Future Meego tablets have more chances I guess.

Doubt apple would do that. And if they did it should still be compatible with the iPod and iPhone

To do this it will be a challenge but worth while I think  :thumbup: and there's many many many threads about this out there.

the screens on an iphone/ipod are way to small to support a game like planeshift, most of the windows take a good chucnk of the screen anyway, on a little ipod screen, it would be impossible to see what your doing, so no vaka, it wouldnt be benificial to have PS for those things
