There doesn't seem to be many choices out there for running functional tests on the iPad/iPhone. A quick search brought up a few options: FoneMonkey, Frank, UI Automation.

Does anyone have experience with any of these or have suggestions for better solutions?

I'm the FoneMonkey project founder, so admittedly a bit biased, but I would strongly recommend you give FoneMonkey a try. It provides robust recording and playback for native iPhone and iPad apps, and you can easily extend custom scripts with Objective-C logic to automate virtually any UI scenario.

The next release (due out later this week) generates UIAutomation-based tests in JavaScript, as well as ready-to-run OCunit tests.
