That's good stuff! I just did the business version of this post

I haven't attempted anything for my normal Objective-C XCode work yet on an iPad.

Anyone out there have any hacks to do iPhone/iPad dev from the iPad?

1. Keep your project in a Dropbox folder or sftp site.

2. Edit your code with one of the many Dropbox-enabled text editors. (Or use Textastic with its sftp support.)

3. Use Hudson's web interface to kick off an Xcode build. Configure Hudson to send built IPAs back to you via email or TestFlight.

4. Download and test your new build on the same device.

It sort of works, even! As long as you don't need to edit your XIB files, and you avoid typos. I'm not switching over to it, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I guess you could use a service like MacinCloud.
