Hey guys,
Didn't get to try it out yet, but just a quick question..
Would it be reasonable to expect the iPad / iPhone app to improve latency (due to shorter travel of signal) to a level where we could use BT headphones and latency would be unnoticeable to the regular ear?

Errrr, are you asking about the speed of light ? the speed of electricity through a wire ? and what difference a few centimeters of wire makes to latency ?
Try this some time;
Look up the speed of light - 186,000 miles per second or so, precision doesn't matter much for now.
Get that multiplied out to inches per hour.
Divide that by a billion to get inches per nanosecond (10^-9).
I don't think there is a latency problem, given that the audible spectrum barely goes to 20 KHz (1/20 of a millisecond) and we need a few cycles to perceive sound.

There is less system latency, yes
