One company that sold lots of easily-modified computers is now selling a harder-to-modify computer.

Could you get an Apple ][e Emulator through the App Store? And throw in all the tips, manuals, and cheat sheets Mark referenced?

That would be a virtual machine or interpreter, and that's against the TOS.

Virtual machines are against Apple's App Store's TOS?

"No interpreted code may be downloaded or used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple’s Published APIs and built-in interpreter(s)."

-- Apple iPhone SDK agreement

The only hope is a javascript-based interpreter, which bypasses the SDK. We'll see how fast the A4 is, I guess.
