I don't expect a lot of innovation on the multi-touch front, though obviously you'll be able to zoom the maps by pinching.

As for iPad, see the site.

No, just the UI.

Or better yet, make it cross-platform. iPhone is all the hype now, but web-based apps are the true future! KoDP's engine is simple enough that it should have no problem running on Firefox 4 and Safari 6.

You mean redoing the whole thing in HTML5? But what's on the back end?
