Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

There are some really cool examples of alternative touch interfaces, but none of them live in the new, and almost required, AU world.
For example, TC Data/TC11 type multi-touch would be kick-ass in an AU context
Or.. What I'd kill to see, is an iOs version of a VST I sort of "commissioned" that you can see here:

Essentially you pick a scale, map keys/controls to move up or down the scale (or repeat notes, return "home", etc.), etc.
It's a WAYYYYYYYYYY better method to play an instrument in my view.
I did a goofy video demoing the idea. Here's a link that goes basically to the part using the scale player:
The takeaway is that piano keyboards, even scale constrained ones, are kinda out-dated. My idea of relative note jumps constrained by a scale kicks ass. Eventually the world will catch on.
