Run iPad Apps On The Mac

Wouldn't it be great if you could run many of your iPad Apps on your Mac?
The technology to run iPad Apps on a Mac isn't actually new. Developers have used iPhone and iPad emulators to test Apps before they install them on physical devices since the first iPhone came out.
Emulating an iPhone or iPad on a Mac is actually pretty easy, because technically, they share a lot of the same software under the hood. These emulators run so well, it makes you wonder why Apple doesn't include an iPad emulator with every Mac sold. It would be a great next step for people who enjoy their iPads, but would like a larger screen and keyboard from time to time.
This wouldn't turn your Mac into an iPad. It just lets you run your iPad Apps in a separate window or secondary desktop.
Technically, this wouldn't be practical for some Apps that require the use of the GPS, or the motion sensors, but for many productivity, graphic, photo, video, and casual game Apps, the transition would be seamless.
