Yes, haven't got myself one yet, but that would definitely be a good option. Do you know any app names?
This post mentions a few. A lot of other valuable info on that site:

I have to look in to this stuff. You can connect your iPad straight to a MIDI device with at USB cable if you have the Camera Connection Kit. That site talks more about it. I'm not sure how useful that is for us however. I'm not 100% sure that these apps can send the midi live over wifi. I will look in to this more over christmas.
