Correct me if I'm wrong (& please do) but as I understand it one of the benifits of SL is that it is pretty much cross platform compatible & addresses a lot of the browser compatibility issue out of the box. Have you thought of looking at running in trusted out of browser mode on your Ipad?

As far as I know (please let me know if I am wrong), but Silverlight is not supported at all on Apple iOS or Android devices (http://forums.silverlight.net/p/226697/548500.aspx).

Nope, not supported. Chews through processor and in turn the battery of the device.
