#32517 — Forth on ipad/ios

Some of my friends have android phones and tablets, for fun I checked 
the google play store, and sure enough, there were a few Forths 
available, most notable gforth. Myself, I am using an ipad, and the 
only local Forth I can use at the moment is (a very nice btw) a Jupiter 
Ace emulator. Now the Ace is quite awesome, even though it's the 
unexpanded version, leaving ~800 bytes or so of user dictionary space.

I know Apples guidelines were very strict in the beginning, but they 
seem to have relaxed if ever so slightly. There are various Lua, Python 
and Ruby interpreters available on the app store nowadays. Has anyone 
in here ever though about implementing a Forth for the ipad/ios-devices?

The best solution might be gforth - then there are compatible versions on both. Bernd, can you hear me?
(and my MPE based tutorial would be running as well for the beginners as it does with gforth now on the non-I tablet)

I have no iOS device, and no plan to buy one.  So whoever wants to make 
Gforth on iOS to happen, needs to buy me a device.  iPad Mini Retina is 
probably the cheapest platform to try both 32 and 64 bit versions, otherwise 
an iPod Touch or so might do, too.
