Well, there's at least one already available over on the Palm 
platform.  I remember seeing a blurb on a mini-Ableton clone in one 
of my synth magazines last year.  I'm pretty certain it made use of 
an external interface that had already been manufactured for exactly 
this sort of application (which leads me to believe that there are 
several other Palm apps of this nature).  Seems to me that it could 
act as a VST host as well.

Pretty kewl, but I got distracted by some other shiny thing and never 
did any more research on it.  I'll see if I can go through my back 
issues later today and come up with something more concrete...
