VLC, the video player for AVI format files, was pulled from the AppStore because its GPL license was incompatible with the AppStore Terms and Conditions.
Since GPL apps are no longer welcome, it means that Emacs (once ported, of course) will never appear on the AppStore and will only be available if the iPad is jail-broken.
Even if GPL licensed apps were welcome, there was still the restruction of an apps running interpreted code being disallowed.
I would be willing to jailbreak my iPad to get Emacs.
