You'll be waiting a long time then, I suspect. Asynch play of Titan (or any other six-hour game) on an iPad would be slightly less painful that pulling teeth. You'd be better off grabbing a seat on one of our PBEM games.
It looks to me like we've got enough interest for a teaching PBEM game. If you want in, get yourself an account at acts.warhorsesim.com/ - it has a auto-moderator that covers everything, even board position. Then Dair or I can get one set up.
There may even be enough players now for a tournament or ladder. Take a long while to work through though.

With talk of Titan taking a while with 4+ players, won't it take _forever_ to do this waiting for each other via email?

It'll take a couple of months, probably. But that's okay when you're playing via email.

I played back in college but left my copy of the game to the gaming group. I did pick up the reprint when it came out but haven't had a table session yet. Most of my plays lately have been AI rounds on Colossus.

Also, how good are the 'quick' play variants in the rulebook? Is the game just as fun playing to a certain time limit or starting with a few stronger creatures?

Seconded. I know seasoned players look upon the AI with disdain, but it's free and is a good way to get used to how the movement works as well as recruiting. Did I mention that it's free? Its crude looking but it works.
Stuff like this and the free Race for the Galaxy download are probably things of the past with the rise of tablets - if the Ipad were around 5 years ago both these things would be pay apps I'd think.
