I suggest getting an Android device, we have the loading of externals
working so its only a matter of time before we have Pd-extended in the
Android Marketplace.
for myself, I will get an android as soon as I can afford it.
That said, you can build Pd for iPhoneOS, run it from the cmd line, then
load externals. Then you can use the [apple/multitouch] to get data
from the touch.
I'll look into this when I can. I assume that it's the same with an ipad,
will it work with and ipod touch as well?
