You might find that it is a challenging exercise to connect the iPad  
to the RS-232 port of the K3.

There is a USB jack in the iPad "Camera Connection Kit," but since  
serial ports are not USB Class compliant devices, you will need to be  
able to install drivers (kernel extensions).

For now, the iPad would need to be jailbroken for you to install third  
party drivers (assuming you can even find drivers for your USB serial  
adapter for the iPad/ARM architecture to begin with).

A Bluetooth adapter at the K3 end is an easy solution, but not a cheap  
one.  The other is to WiFi from the iPad to a computer that is already  
attached to the K3 (which is also a cross platform solution).

Other than those niggling details, multi-touch interfaces for a radio  
is definitely better than mouse driven interfaces.
