I will say that if you have control over the app itself or can use the HTML pages in your own ipad app with just the webkit wrapper, it would be a no-brainer to store really good logs. I'll go a step further and suggest that to make it more elegant, transmit the logs via bluetooth to another machine nearby.

Thanks to everyone.  Lots of good ideas here.  I am not sure about
transferring our mobile app to html5 but it might work.

Thanks again.
