Omar, when you're talking to your publisher about the iPod Statesman app, make sure that there will be no moving elements on any screen where there is text that you expect me to read. Text/Moving Pictures: one or the other, not both.

Have you gotten gorilla arm yet from using it? Holding 1.5 pounds for a long time can be a real strain.

Hi Michael -- I mentioned in the chat that our publisher asked to see my iPad this morning. I can't speak for the company, but I know he's planning to buy a 3G version and it sounds like the Statesman may be buying some (as early as today; not sure if they got them or not).
It sounds like an iPad app (or more likely revising our current Statesman app to make it iPad-friendly/universal) is on the agenda.
Thanks for your interest.
