Clunky? Yes
it's the quickest approach I could think off.
Personally I'd say its a cool idea to use you Ipad.
But the thing that bothers alot is that eventually the ipad expires.
Offering it paid ( if you would) gives little profit as apples appstore is offering you to put up things freely at no cost ( if accepted) but when you sell it you have to pay an very very high percentage of that profit to them (outragous high).
I hope you can get access to the SDK but for some reason I doubt it as they will not offer support for it.
I could be wrong though, if you dont try you'll never know.
Question though: do you have FB3 or QM2000?
If the answer is FB3 then I really doubt they give or even can offer you an SDK.
