Hi Greg PowerSDR is 100% available via SVN so yes, there is enough of it available to port it to other operating systems. It is so entwined with the Windows architecture, plus the majority of it is in C# so that isn't an easy task. While iPhone/iTouch/iPad programming is a bit different than Cocoa programming (OS X) its 80% the same so the port from OS X to iPhone is more managable as a task.
When Deep Impact comes out, the iPad would be a great User Interface device for the Flex and the iPad should be more than powerful enough to handle that! Hope you put your name on the notfication list (I did!)
