In combination with webkit there's potential for a cross platform mobile audio app that could be run on all the major mobile OS's. Also don't forget Ubuntu Mobile and Google Chrome OS is looking like it has potential too. I guess at some point there will need to be a mobile studio distro. Probably built around webkit to ensure maximum compatibility. It really depends what you are looking to achieve. I can imagine a whole row/grid of devices with multiple apps on each one. Played with touch, some doing background processing, others doing control and others used for specialist sounds... Would be fun to build and play and a fairly unique performance at the moment.
