Is was something totally different - an application built around the
Aviary SDK (apparently violating their terms of use, at least this is
what the Aviary developers told me), and with a "totally not abusing
GIMP's name, can't you see it is a totally different full name" name
slapped onto it to boost its sales.

Regarding GIMP itself on iOS:
Our understanding of the iOS app store ToS is that there can be no
GPL-licensed software there.

Also, GIMP on a primarily touch-based interface would have to look and
feel really different.
