I'm not actually sure how I feel about this.  On the one hand, it's great to see the iPad being such an easy and intuitive to use device that even child-molestor protecting, former Nazi youth senior citizens can use it.  On the other hand, do we really want powerful religious figures to have access to technology which makes it easier for them to spread the shackles of mysticism?
