Q: 

Best way to ask for a single field text input on iPad

I want to ask for a single text field input.

So my options seem to be:

  1. Modal form (too big for one field)

  2. Alert box containing text field (against iPad HIG - but try adding a playlist in the iPod application - Apple breaking it's own rules?)

  3. Modal popover

What are your thoughts guys? i'm leaning towards 3.
