That absolutely destroys it for music apps. A decent latency for music apps is under 10ms. You don't hear it, you feel it when you press a key and you don't hear the sound immediately. It prevents you from playing fast, even if you kind of adjust to it.
Your brain is very sensitive to timing differences. Hit a drum with two sticks - you can hear the difference on beat and almost-on-beat very easily. And if you are trying to use vocal effects and hear your own voice delayed - that just messes with your brain.

As for the side note - I played with my friend's iPhone, and decided to stay away from that device :) I still have an old iPod Touch which runs a looper just fine.
