Anyone willing to take out the challenge to port Apple II emulator (or
better yet, Apple IIGS emulator!) to iPhone or iPad?

Apple will not allow emulators in the App store


It's gotten through Apple before...

menu to the BASIC prompt was made public...

There is apparently no objection to "closed" apps that do a single
game or a single list of games.  What raises corporate eyebrows seems
to be an app that has an open-ended function--either by being
programmable or by being able to use "external" disk images.
