Theoretically you should be able to build in safety checks similar to how the DS responds when you unplug a joystick.

Also, regarding closed vs. open source, it should be possible to dual-license the code so that there is an open source version, but make the binaries available on the App Store for a small fee. I found some helpful info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busines...ource_software.

Hope this helps.
