No defense needed, hence why registration was needed, as i wanted you folks to be aware
Dreamboard was actually ipad compatible from the beginning, however a theme switching bug was what made the 1.0 release incompatible.
There's only two theme's (slight disclaimer, there both mine) but there only donation-ware as it is, and midnight is about to get really, really good.
Winterboard does work in conjunction with Dreamboard, however since most are probably on an ipad 1, please remember how precious little ram we have on these devices, I wouldn't recommend running both. (with full theme's, i don't think you would really have a problem with one little tweak, but it sucks you have to run the entire winterboard framework for it!)
Dreamboard is basically a HTML 5 / javascript Springboard. I have videos of the latest beta's of midnight on youtube, google dreamboard midnight RC2 if interested.
The tools are out now however to do some serious, serious ipad theming
