According to the description, only TexTouch does some of the job. The rest are equation generators, not latex editors! Mathematicians use latex to write papers, the .tex files are shared with coauthors, sent to publishers, etc. What am I supposed to do with the crap created by things like MathBot?

I agree with apl. Your comments and remarks. However, MathBot is free only if you can Liverpool with one watermark under your typed equations. The watermark goês away only after payment.

I especially appreciate the fact that everything sits on top of a git repo so I can keep everything nicely synced and tracked. In fact, I think that this is an ideal setup to create an iPad app. Once objective-git is able to push/pull from a remote repo, it'd be feasible to create an API where you use git to sync with the ScribTeX webserver and then download the compiled PDF onto the iPad app. So, you'd basically need a nice code editor and some fancy keyboard tricks, and could then turn ScribTeX into a semi-desktop app for people who don't want to download and install TeX themselves (which is probably a lot of people!). I'm guessing you could easily offset the cost by offering subscriptions to ScribTeX via in-app purchase and/or even just make the app a paid app. Only people who know what they want will buy it, but they (like me, for example ;-) will be willing to spend more than just $0.99 on a working TeX for iPad app!
